Power Supply Surges detected during the previous power on

I figured as much!
I'll be buying the Corsair TX750M on monday and hope it'll arrive next week friday!

I must ask. ASUS AI SUITE II is popping up a warning with +3.3v at 3.7v?? what's that about??

I'm after replacing the GTX 560Ti with my old 8800GTS card and so far I've not experienced any crashing. even playing games that constantly crashed has all stopped.
At the moment it really does look as if the PSU just can't handle the overall system power requirements!
Bring on the Corsair TX750M!

Then why would you ever say a single rail is always better?

And yes.

you never have to worry about overloading a single rail.

(at least thats what i have read many times reading this forum) you may correct me if im wrong.

Yep, looks like your PSU.
Well, the Anti Surge Monitor did it's job, it seems. +1 for ASUS.

I believe that the Anti Surge Monitor is looking for a 5% or so overvoltage from the 3.3V, 5V and 12V.
That would mean anything on the 3.3V rail over 3.465V (3.3V*5%= approx. .165V) should/would trip the alarm/notification.
So, 3.7 is a little over that.

This is what I was speaking about dis-abling the anti-surge; if, your PSU tested OK.

You can, also, look at what the motherboard sees for your monitored voltages on that screen.

Well, hope the new PSU takes care of it... looks like it should.
Goodluck

Ah right that makes sense now!
I'll just get the PSU and hope for the best.
With the 8800GTS the system is stable! never crashed yet so it must just be a lack of power for the 560Ti!

Bit happy now!
