Probably one of the suggestions above are correct and certainly all warrant trying out.
As a real long shot: are you using an OCed coffee lake with a cheap or mid range z370 mobo. If not forget this totally. If so there is an outside chance that the VRM are overheating or not able to supply steady power
to the CPU. This topic is cropping up more and more. Seems the Z370 power system is the same usually as the Kaby Z270. Problem is on non top level boards an oced i7 8700k can over stress VRMs that are fine with Kaby lake.
I realize this seems to be PSU or GPU, and my idea really is a long shot, and then only if you are on z370 with a 6+6 Oced core voltage. So no abuse please posters! I know it's unlikely. Just posted it in case everything else fails, assuming you have a z370 with an OCed power hungry coffe lake.
P.S. My first guess would be GPU.
1. Taichi z370. i7 8086k @ 5,2GHz Stable.
16GB G.Skill Trident Z @ 3,000MHz.
EVGA GTX 1080ti FTW3. Acer XB270HU IPS 1440p 144Hz Refresh with G-Sync. PSU Corsair AX850. Cloud two cans, and Creative T20 stereo. Realtek HD on board sound.
