Computer just reboots when playing game.

Hi, i bought a Seasonic 760w '80 Plus Platinum' Modular Power Supply from OCUK in march, and it's been great until this week.

Sometimes when i start a game, the computer reboots after a minute or two, no error, and after checking the BIOS, the 3.3v is in the red.
Is this a failing PSU do you think? And do you know if OCUK can deal directly with replacing it if so? thanks.

Just said "Power Supply Surge Detected" at POST when i rebooted. Guess i have to RMA :Z

I would rma just to be sure then see what happens on replacement psu,if it still does it then idk what it could be?

Is your Psu plugged into the wall socket or a surge protected extension lead?
I`m betting the former.

 

[mrspliff]

Yes, directly to the wall.
