Hello, I have had a problem with my pc for some time, but lately it got out of control. It all started with the famous "Asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply". I received it after 2-3 months after I built the PC, and kept getting it from time to time, randomly, at weeks/months interval without bothering me that much, thinking that the thing just does its natural job. Unfortunately, these last 2 weeks were a nightmare, things starting to fall apart after buying Battlefield 1 premium, and trying to play for countinuous hours was not possible without the Asus anti surge thingy to pop, after restarting/shutting down my PC. Made some research on the internet, and found out a lot of people have had problems with this, and the Anti Surge was mostly a trouble maker. Disabled it, and tried to game back on. Same thing happens, mostly in game, but not always, after 5 mins- 2-3 hrs. (please note that playing intensive games was not a problem in the past, beeing able to finish couple of games without any problems). I have tried putting my pc into a normal power socket (before I had it connected to a power stabilizer).
So, as a reflex, I tried to also watch the temperatures in game, under heavy load. And the temperatures seem perfectly normal..

PC parts:
GPU MAX temp is 82 degrees C
CPU MAX temp is around 65
On this PC config, built 1 year ago:
MOBO: ASUS Z170 Pro Gaming
CPU: I7 6700K
GPU: ASUS GTX 1070 Turbo Series
RAM: 16 GB 2133 freq
HDD: WD Black 1TB SATA-III 7200 RPM 64MB WD1003FZEX
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 250 GB
Cooler CPU Cooler Master Hyper 212
PSU: Sirtec - High Power Element Smart 750W

Also, here is a screen shot on the app SpeedFan, to provide you the info about the voltage that is running around in my system:

Solution
Asus Anti-Surge (A safety feature) was trying to save your PC from that terrible Sirtec 750w PSU which sounds like it is not able to deliver stable voltage espically under loads, you should re-enable anti-surge and replace that PSU.

Your Asus BIOS already told you what was wrong "Asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply"

Ok, after stress testing with oc base 2 times, at the first test it died after 10 minutes, and at the second test after 2 hours. Basically at this point I would lie to myself not pointing out at my firework psu...
What stable psu mainly for gaming would you guys recommend me to buy for this rig, thinking that I may considering overclocking sometimes in the future.
 
Not sure what sites are available other than this so here are some good units. I would personally recommend the TX550m or the S12II-600, but all units have enough power for your computer.
Corsair CX450 https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/corsair/cx450-80-plus-bronze-450w/
Seasonic S12II-520 https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/seasonic/s12ii-520-bronze-520w/
SeaSonic S12II-620 https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/seasonic/s12ii-620-bronze-620w/
Corsair TX550m https://www.pcgarage.ro/surse/corsair/tx550m-80-plus-gold-550w/
