Lately I've been experiencing crashes after 15 minutes of playing any video games I run in Eyefynity. There is no error code, the computer restarts, screens go blank and cards run at 100% fan speed. The temperatures during gaming are about 70-85*C.

Before that I've been experiencing Asus warnings 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."

People on forums advised to simply switch it off in the BIOS and I did, but now I have this other issue stated above.

I have changed video drivers as well but it did not help.

Any ideas? Please.... :(
 
It looks to be power supply unit, since the asus anti surge was triggered.

I would not disable anti surge personally, it could save your system from death. Or give you advance heads up that your power supply is on its last legs

Sorry totally forgot about the system spec.

Power Supply is Corsair AX1200

Intel i7 2600K (no oc)
Corsair H100
Asus Maximus Extreme-Z
Corsair Dominator 16GB 1866Mhz
2x XFX HD7970 (no oc)
SSD Crucial M4 128GB + Samsung F3 1TB
3x Dell U2312HM Eyefinity

How long is the Corsair warranty? I have had the PSU for 2 years now.
 
They have quite a long warranty (7 years) Contact Corsair and get the RMA sorted.
