Hello
First, I'd like to thank you for taking the time for checking this problem.
The problem:
Since today my system has shut down multiple times, rebooting and giving me an error screen on startup saying something along the lines of: "Asus Anti-Surge Protection has shut down the system."
I've had this system for 2 years and I've never had this problem before. I did however change my SSD's yesterday.
I was running 2 Crucial MX100 in RAID 0 but I've been having problems with the system freezing on and off for ~30 seconds. So yesterday I installed a brand new Samsung EVO 850 (1 TB) with a fresh install of Windows 8.1 (no cloning).
What I did:
I turned off the power and pulled out the power cable (to be sure) before replacing those Crucial SSD's. I then unplugged both Crucial's from the PSU and Motherboard. I removed 1 SATA III cable because I now have 1 less SSD. I removed 1 SATA power cable because I now had enough with 1 cable to power my single SSD, CD/DVD/BR reader, my CPU-cooler and the front-input from the case (USB, audio and micro input).
I have since replugged 1 SATA power cable to feed the SSD only, just in case plugging 4 on 1 cable was the culprit.
TL;DR: replaced SSD, fresh OS install, re-ordered cable management. System now regularly reboots stating Asus Anti-Surge Protection kicked in.
System Specs:
OS: Window 8.1 64-bit (latest version, as of now)
Case: Corsair 760T
Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Formula
CPU: Intel Core i7 4790K
Memory: 4 x 4GB Corsair Vengeance Pro (frequency of 667 MHz)
GPU: 2 x Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 (currently not running SLI enabled. SLI-enabled or disabled did not affect my problem at all, it occurred regardless)
Storage: Samsung 850 EVO (1 TB)
PSU: Corsair HX1000i
Additional Software that I have installed:
7zip
Avira antivirus
Ccleaner
Corsair Link (installed AFTER the problem occurred for the first time)
Nvidia GeForge Experience
Skype
Steam
Additional information:
None of my components are overclocked.
I am not excluding my PSU as the possible culprit, however I do doubt that it is. I never had this issue before changing my SSD and the fresh OS install.
I do not remember if Asus Anti-Surge Protection was enabled or disabled before switching the SSD.
I have checked if all power cables are plugged in correctly after switching out the SSD, I did not see anything wrong and "wiggled" them slightly to make sure they were well-connected.
I have read conflicting reports about Asus Anti Surge-Protection: some saying it should not be problem and some saying that it is. I have currently disabled Asus ASP. The system is running just fine for now, however I feel like I am taking a risk in possibly damaging my entire system.
The problem first occurred earlier today when I was playing GTA V Online. I had no issues playing it for a few hours yesterday.
On a sidenote: it's been beautiful weather and no thunder whatsoever for the last weeks.
I have tried to document my problem as best as I could, if however there is some additional information required please let me know.
Thank you once more for taking the time to check into this problem.
Regards,
Mathi
