Just got my fx-8350 and my pc keeps crashing. Its the BSOD, and im not sure where to start troubleshooting. Along with my new cpu i got a card reader a case and another HDD. Should i have re-installed windows or is it something a little more fatal :(.
My MOBO is the asrock 970 Extreme3. Its says its 8 core ready and is an am3+ socket but hey, ya never know. Any help would be greatly appreciated, i just wanna be able to use my new upgrades already haha

Ive found out that it is running extremely hot for some reason, while in bios i looked at the built in hw monitor and my cpu was at temps 75c. I reseated the heat sink and thermal paste and im watching it now slowly climbing back up, its at 50c already
