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?

Probably less than you think. It is a high voltage to produce the spark (in the spark circuit) but I doubt the current required is much. Invest in a if you don't have one, they come in handy. Easier than opening up the circuit to isolate a wire to use an ammeter on.

I am thinking it really could be interference from poor shielding. How close in proximity is the stove to your computer?

20 or so feet. With a wall separating. Knock out the wall though, and they would be staring at each other. Also the pc is sideways against the wall right near an outlet. Think you are on to something here.

Wires not shielded well will act like antennas, hopefully a UPS will fix the issue - that is the best solution and it will save your data in the event of a power failure.
