Hello my name is Horo. I would be most glad if you could help me today, here is my issue.

 

Well unfortunately for the past two weeks I've had several surges. My computer shuts down then shows this message "Power supply surges detected during the previous power on. Asus anti-surge was triggered to protect system from unstable power supply unit Press F1 to run SETUP." Idle and Load I have crashes.

 

This system isn't old by any means, three months since I've built it.

Computer SPECS:

 

Motherboard: Asus Maximus VII Hero

 

CPU: i7 4790k (OC: 4.4Ghz)

 

CPUC: H105 (Push)

 

GPU: GTX 780 ASUS

 

PSU: Ax860i UK

 

HDD: 2TB WD (Black)

 

SSD: Kingston 240GB UK 120GB

 

RAM: HyperX Kingston 16GB

If anyone has any answers on how to fix this problem please reply, I will be most thankful if the issue resolves.

 

(This EDIT log is for people that may have the same issue as me, since if they've a problem like I'm having this could be useful to them)

 

EDIT: I've lowered my overclock to 4.4GHz (Turbo Boost) from 4.8GHz (Custom) and its still having unexpected power-offs.

EDIT 2: I would also like to note I have the money to buy a new power supply unit, its just I'd prefer to see if I can do anything to fix the problem, before going out and buying another.

EDIT 3: I've disabled Asus Anti-Surge in the Bios and checked all the boxes for OCP and turned them up to 40AMPS, so far no crashes. I've overclocked to 4.7GHz (Custom)

EDIT 4: 24 Hours since I've Disabled Asus Anti-Surge and checked all the boxes for OCP and turned them to 40AMPS, not a single unexpected shut-down.

EDIT 5: Non-related to the PSU issue, the latency/timings on the ram randomly went from correct to incorrect, I changed it back to the correct latency/timings and the issue seems resolved, a second 24 hour and no crash.

 

Regards,

 

Horo.

Thank you for the reply Jonnyguru, I've made the changes in Corsair Link and in the bios.

I'll note back to you if it resolves the problem. Do you think it would be alright if I overclock to 4.8GHz again? Also if you don't mind me asking why does it help putting them all at 40AMPS?

Thanks again Jonnyguru or "PSU GUY"

Because at default, they're all actually set to 30A +/- 10%, but the Link software doesn't reflect it (because Link doesn't poll the PSU's firmware for it on startup).

 

If this works, go back into Link, uncheck all of the boxes and try your OC again.

 

Keep in mind that if you unplug AC power from the PSU, you have to change your settings again because the settings in the PSU aren't stored on an EEPROM or anything. :(:

I think I'm just going to keep all the boxes checked, since its fixing the problem currently, there isn't any problem with them checked and at 40AMPS 24/7 is there? Sorry for so many questions its just since you're technically an expert I thought I might take the time to see if I can get these questions answered.

Hey again

 

Now I have another issue Jonnyguru, Today I've had a single crash while loading a game up. I don't know what to do about it. Is it the same problem?

 

 

I also have a minidump error folder but have no clue on how to read it

I have possibly fixed the issue, I did a quick Ram test to see if it was the cause of this problem and it came back fine. I went into the bios checking the ram making sure the latency was correct and for some reason it was incorrect I reset them and re-overclocked and now I have zero unexpected crashes. I also have no understanding of why the latency changed on its own. To come to conclusion I think everything has been resolved 'again'.

 

Well thanks for helping me out. You've been awesome, Jonnyguru.

 

Regards,

 

Horo
