Hi there,

Following some excellent advice on here I bought the components for my first build. I put it together last night and everything has been fine.

However, I have just installed BF4 and each time I try to start it, the PC restarts itself. There is an error message on the boot up saying:

"power supply surges detected during the previous power on, ASUS anti-surge was triggered"

This is the first time the PC has been put under any kind of load (it is fine when idle).

I have a surge protector between the wall and the PC. I am using a brand new ANTEC High Current Pro 750W and an ASUS Hero mobo.

I have done a quick Google and it may be that the PSU is faulty, or possibly that the ASUS Hero surge detector is a bit sensitive.

I have an old PSU in another computer that I could dig out and try.

Any thoughts?
