    power supply surges??

    so my PC keeps turning off and i get power supply surges detected during previous power on, my guess is my Power supply is to low of wats for my PC but i thought i had enough, tell me what you think?

    Inland 600w power supply, Yes its shit but i didnt wanna pay aton for a power supply.
    i7 4770k
    Z87 gryphon
    EVGA geforce 780 3GB
    Crucial 8GB of Duel channel 1600mhz ram
    250GB samsung SSD
    3TB seagate HHD


    is it the power supply? or something else with asus boards? the PC works fine, its just when i start to play titanfall i get about 10mins in and boom, power failure.

    600W should be enough I think for your computer.

    The brand is "Inland", though. I've never even heard of it. I'd say try a spare PSU, if everything is fine then you know your problem.

    Have you over clocked anything?

    I would spend more on a more common/Reliable brand and up your wattage to 700-800 just to be safe. Seasonic are a good brand and also an OEM.
    Also, make sure your BIOS is up to date as well.

    i updated my bio's to the newest one when i built the computer, so i know that is good! but i think i am going to have to just upgrade the power supply like you said, i plan on going for a 700-800wat but as for brand, no clue what would be a good start, ill look into seasonic and OEM for sure tho

    inland is a very low end brand from micro center cheap ass power supply s cause i didnt have a spare and i needed something xD no spare PSU so no luck in that. gf has a 500wat so cant use that.

    as for overclocking? nope no overclocking at all.

    Having a sufficient wattage never actually equates to having enough power. Many issues are caused by not having enough amperage on the 12V rail, which powers your main components (CPU, GPU, HDD). The 12 Volts of power that come in from your wall are multiplied by the amperage on your rail, which equals effective wattage. Such as if you have 40 Amps on your 12V, 40x12 = 480 Watts of power. The issue comes in when a PSU has multiple rails, which are then denominated to seperate components. If one component exceeds the amperage given to a single rail, your Rig can overload and shut down. A good PSU will have sufficient wattage in constant power, preferably on a single rail. If you give me the exact model of your PSU I can probably figure out your issue. Seeing that it's very low end it most likely has multiple rails.

    i think its a inland ATX ILS-600r2 but i am thinking youre right, that the power for my 12v rail was lower then what the card needed.

    Your card's amperage reqs:
    GeForce GTX 780 - 42A and a 600W PSU minimum

    Your PSU specs:
    Power Specifications
    Efficiency 76%
    Input Voltage AC 115V/230V
    Input Frequency Range 50Hz - 60Hz
    Input Current 10A @ 115VAC / 6A @ 230VAC
    Load Range +3.3V@20A; +5V@28A; +12V@36A; -12V@0.6A; +5VSB@2A


    I guess I've found the issue here.
