New PC: Anti-surge triggered

[DaelpixPhotos]

My PC arrived on Monday and ASUS has triggered the Anti-surge twice since owning the PC.

What are the causes?

Have a look in this thread (and the other ones linked as well): https://www.pcspecialist.co.uk/forums/showthread.php?28808-brand-new-desktop-crashed-with-asus-anti-surge-protection
It looks like a known issue with the anti-surge protection on some of the Asus motherboards

The general advice for this issue is to disable it in bios.

Thanks. Think I'll disable it. But how?

You disable it in BIOS settings,usually tapping the DEL (delete) key on startup boots into BIOS,all Bios settings are a bit different though depending on the motherboard so best have a look at the motherboard manual.

Found it and turned it off

I've actually sent an email to PCS to see what they say and I've referred them to this thread

Just received an email from PCS saying that I should disable the Anti-Surge. So I'll leave it as it is now .
