Asus Anti Surge Problems

[brololol]

Hi I'm currently experiencing problems with the Asus anti surge
when i am using the computer normally to browse the web it works fine
but when i try to play a game (Far Cry 3, Hitman Absolution), after about 30~40 mins of gameplay, the computer just shuts down, and turns back on with the message
"Power Supply Surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS Anti-Surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit"
My current specs are

OS : Windows 7 Ultimate K 64-bit SP1
CPU: Intel core 15 3579K @ 3.40GHz Ivybridge 22nm Technology
Ram : 8.00 GB Dual Channel DDR3 @ 800MHz
Motherboard : ASUSTeK COMPUTER INC. P8H77-V (LGA1155)
GPU : 2048MB NVIDIA GeForce GTX 670 (Palit Microsystems)
Hard Drives : 112GB Samsung SSD 840 Series ATA Device (SSD) 37 °C
932GB Hitachi HDS721010CLA630 ATA Device (SATA)
PSU : Cooler Master 750 W
I've checked with this http://support.asus.com/PowerSupply.aspx?SLanguage=en
and it tells me i need 500W to run the computer, so the PSU should be more than enough
I've also read up somewhere that the Asus anti surge was overly sensitive and acts up randomly
I dont know if it is something to do with the PSU or the motherboard
I've thought of disabling the anti surge but im not sure what will happen to the motherboard if it actually is a faulty PSU
It worked perfectly fine when playing Dishonored on the highest settings, but not with Far Cry 3 and Hitman Absolution
Please Help!

Sounds to me like the PSU is acting up, probably something somewhere going out of spec under heavly load and the motherboard detecting that and shutting down.

I'd get a quality power supply, assuming you have the GX 750w, I can tell you that unit is junk.

What are some better brands and models you would recommend in this case?

 

[newtekie1]

Corsair and Seasonic.

I'd go for a Corsair HX750-80.

If i were to get the Corsair HX750-80 and this issue still keeps happening
will it be safe to just disable the anti surge?

Yeah, probably.

Before you jump to a new PSU, test yours with a multimeter. They are inexpensive and make sure the rails are drawing he amps to ensure that is the problem. Buying a new PSU and having the same problem can be a bummer.

Are you running the system on a surge strip, power strip, or ups???
