Turn on the stove, gpu (not the whole pc) turns off.

I understand high draw appliances like a microwave or toaster can steal power from something, but never heard of a stove doing it.

Anyone know why this is happening? Need a bigger psu?

Get a battery backup. Even a small one will prevent voltage fluctuations from affecting your PC. A larger PSU with more capacitance may help, but a battery backup is definitely going to negate the problem.

Good thinking.

If a UPS does not solve this, it may be some sort of radio-frequency-like interference.

Also check the fan on your GPU and make sure it is spinning. Whenever I played a game my computer would crash, turned out the fan was dead on the GPU and causing it to overheat.
