Hey guys,
a few months ago I built myself a new gaming PC. All went perfectly fine until a few days ago. I was playing World of Warcraft (not the most demanding game) and suddenly my computer turned off and I got the following message:
"Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply"
It happened once so I didn't think much of it so I continued playing the game. It happened again in about 30 min. I googled it and found a solution to turn the anti-surge off in the BIOS. I did and it worked fine for a day or two. Then a different issue occurred. My PC was still working, but my monitor went off (saying No signal) and the GPU fans went crazy. The game sound was still working. If I restarted my computer it was all OK and I could game again. However it repeated itself in random intervals... sometimes after a few hours, sometimes a few minutes in. And now it got to a point that every time I open a game the problem occurs.
I found similar problems when I googled it. I tried taking the GPU in and out again and even placing it in a different spot in the Motherboard. I then tried to plug in a different cable from the PSU to the GPU. Finally I tried to play my computer elsewhere (in case the wiring in my room was bad). Nothing worked.
My brother suggested I tried a different monitor or a different cable and see if there's change. I guess trying a different PSU or GPU would also help (harder to get those).
What do you think I should do?
Thank you for all your help!
