Hello everyone,
Before I go into details I will Drop my system specs below.
CPU: i5 3570k
GPU: GTX 660 TI
MOBO: Asus P8Z77 VLX
PSU: Corsair GS 500w gamer series.
RAM: 4x2 GB vengence corsair
HDD: 1 TB WD black and a 500gb WD blue.
OS: Windows 7
Nothing overclocked.
My homemade system I built around 9 months ago has been running almost flawlessly until today. Let me explain, I booted up my PC this morning for a casual game of Counter strike, game was running fine high FPS and all but then bam! Around 10 minutes into gameplay my system suddenly powers of and re-boots to an AMIBios screen quoting.
"asus anti surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit!" I have a screen shot for this message if it helps.

Obviously this error is suggesting a problem with my PSU which was surprising because the incident has only occurred over today. when continuing over to the Asus bios I also noticed the 3.3V indicator was displaying as red under the 2.944 current voltage. To be honest I am not fully sure what this means but I will have a screenshot of this below.

unfortunately I do not have another PSU lying around to test on because this was my first computer I built myself. I am unsure if I should request an RMA for my psu if that is the root of the problem.
Any help would be fantastic!
Thanks, Ed
