dead power supply?

[almoststew1990]

My PX suddenly turned off and restarted (no blue screen or anything) and came up with a message during post saying 'power supply surge detected during previous power on. Asus anti-surge was triggered to prevent damage'. My motherboard is a ASUS sabretooth z87.

My power supply is an ocz ZT series 650watt. It is nearly 2yr old. It was powering a 4770k @ 4.4GHz with modest volt increases, a h100i, a 390x stock, 2x 4GB, one ssd and 4 fans. The shutdown happened the first time when browsing on Chrome. It happens after about a minute now.

I've reset bios.
Ive triend a Different cable and socket.

Thanks for the tip. I tried all that but I stgill had the problem. I then took out my GPU and it worked fine and when I reinstalled my GPU it wouldn't get past posting- I'd just get a flashing underscore instead of the Windows logo like when it is looking for bootable drives. If i went into the bios, the display would be corrupted as if my GPU was dying. I've tried both my 390x and 7970, both which require a lot of power through an 8 + 6 pin, and it happened to both. When I tried it with my 8800GT, 6 pin only, it was fine (with both cables, weirdly).
