I'm problem solving crashes when I am gaming or running benchmarks

MSI 7270 sli plus
Intel I7-7700 K
16 gig Corsair Veng
EVGA GeForce 1080 ti
Kracken cooler


I did a clean install of windows and tested with Heaven and Kornbustor - still crashed
I disable the GPU in bios and switched to Intel over dvi - still chrased
Pulled the GPU and, using Intel over dvi, no crash

Which is correct:
  1. The GPU was still pulling power when installed but disable in Bios - that's why it still crashed the system - it is a faulty PSU
  2. It's the GPU
  3. something else
