Hi guys

I get a power supply surge every time I reboot (its been like this for 3 days now) and I have to press f2 to load defaults and continue then it boots up fine.

I want to know if I absolutely need a new power supply? or is there anything else I can do to resolve this.

Thanks

Steve

Can you explain a little more about what you are calling a "power supply surge"?

During boot up it stops at the screen below(see image). And I always have to press f2 key to continue, then it boots up.

By reboot, do you mean a restart (as though you pressed the reset button), a cold boot (system powered off and mains off) or a cold boot (system powered off but mains on) ?

If something worked for you can you edit your first post to reflect the fix and mark the topic as 'Solved' please? :)

Mainly because I'm curious to try what you did. I ended up turning off the Asus surge protection on my board due to lack of alternatives.

No matter what your specs, my PC is better.
That's good to know. Is this now the case for whichever of the 3 methods of shutting down and restarting that I suggested trying above?

Solved: I completely shutdown pc and swithed off and back on the power supply switch then turned pc back on.
