Hi,
I'll start my giving you my PC specs:
Asus M5A78L motherboard, AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.4GHz, OCZ ZT 650W PSU, GTX 560 Ti, Cooler master Centurion 5 II case, Thermaltake Frio CPU cooler, 4GB corsair xms3 DDR3 1600MHz, Spinpoint F3 1TB HDD.
I built my PC a couple of years ago and over that time have replaced most of the parts (haven't replaced GPU, RAM or HDD) so most components are less than a year old.
I have been having problems for a while, I replaced my motherboard about a year ago and everything was fine until about 3-4 months ago when my computer would start crashing about 20 minutes into games and I would have to turn the power off by the switch to make it turn off. On starting the computer up again I got the message 'Power surges detected during the previous power on. ASUS anti-surge was triggered to protect the system from unstable power supply' , after some research I decided it was best to replace the PSU.
After finally being able to replace the PSU about a week ago the same thing happened so i assumed it was a problem with the anti-surge function on the motherboard, so I disabled this feature. However, it then began to do the same thing just without showing the anti-surge message on start up.
When the computer crashes it logs a kernel-power event ID 41 error. The Stop error BugcheckCode and the power button time stamp both list as zero which if I'm correct suggests a hardware issue.
I have used furmark, prime 95 and memtest to check my GPU, CPU and RAM and everything is fine there. I have constantly monitored my temps anyway and my PC never overheats. My voltages are normal. I have tried to find a solution to this problem on forums, a lot of people seem to have it but i am yet to find an answer.
The only thing I can think that it could be is an issue with my motherboard, but I don't want to spend the time and money replacing it if it isn't going to solve the issue.
Sorry about the amount of text, if anyone can offer any ideas, they would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
