having a problem overclocking my fx 8350 processor to 4.5ghz from 4.0. any sort of stress test seems to restart the machine, it doesn't have an opportunity to even get hot. i'm far from the best at overclocking in fact this is my first time. please help

It seems that the motherboard just doesn't support overclocking, the 4+1 power phase doesn't cut it. I recommend a at least a 970 chipset. Also your mobo only supports up to 125W TDP, and the FX-8350 requires 125W just to run, meaning you need more power when overclocking.

I recommend this motherboard as it is MUCH better than the one you have currently, and will be able to overclock a lot.
