DrClaw_ Posted April 1, 2013 Share Posted April 1, 2013 checked my wiring all seems good, btw the rig is still fully functional, its this anti surge thing that my mobo uses, turning the pc off, says at post it shut it off, detected surge in PSU using ax1200i with asus z77 v pro mobo, Corsair Dominator platinum 8gb x4 (32gb ram) with i7 3770k cpu, 2 SSD's and 1 HDD with switch 810 case and kraken x40 liquid cooler i have checked temperatures with aida 64 and ran cpu benchmark on prime95 for 20 minutes with no hiccups or shutdowns 5 times so far this mobo tripped the anti surge, shutting the pc off while pc was used just for surfing 6th time it shutoff while gaming temperatures are low 40's for gpu and low 30's for cpu at idle, then 10 degrees more on load, more or less i have checked the plug in my room to make everything is fine, there is no apparent power outage in the room or anything so its definitely something to do with the pc is there any other way i can test the system or the power supply to make sure all is well? or should i rma? im not sure what to list for the rma as i have not determined if it is the psu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 8, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 8, 2013 I am sorry it took so long to reply but I would check the connections to the MB from the PSU by removing them and checking the pins and connectors for burn or scoring marks and make sure they are plugged in properly. Also if you are using a battery back up or APC remove it from the system to help test but if the problem continues then please use the link on the left and request an RMA on the PSU. However if the issue continues I would suggest having the MB checked and or replaced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrClaw_ Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 i chased the same type of problem for like 2 weeks and it ended up being a weak connection on my power strip.by the time i touched the cord end,the power was back. my powerbar was not that sensitive but i didnt want to take any chances so ive replaced the apc after i updated the bios not sure if it was the mobo or the apc left my pc on for almost 8 hours yesterday and about 6 hours today the first day without any monitoring programs and today with multiple no hiccups or shutdowns so far so good:D: she would usually crash after about 2 hours more or less when idle so yea i suppose i could run a prime95 test soon and see what happens after some hours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 17, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 17, 2013 Before you do that I would suggest removing the APC and try it with out any sort of APC or battery back up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Corsair Employees RAM GUY Posted April 18, 2013 Corsair Employees Share Posted April 18, 2013 No need to cancel the RMA lets do a bit more testing though before we replace it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
