Hi there i've recently found out that the motherboard im using does not properly support my CPU and my whole computer freezes after a short period of use and it does not recover. Im a bit of a novice when it comes to computer building so I used pc part picker to build my original system which was the same with an AMD FX 8350 instead of the 9590. PC Part picker says that the Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ Motherboard will work fine with the FX 9590 but alas this is not the case I need a new mobo. So if someone could suggest a mobo that will work with the AMD FX 9590 that would be great. Also it's preferable that it's an Asus Motherboard with a similar BIOS to the one i have but if it's not thats fine. I have literly tried every single permutation of the CPU settings in my mobo and a few ppl have told me that it's not compatible with the processor including the ASUS Website. MY BIOS is the most up to date version i updated it yesterday. Please dont suggest anything other than a new motherboard.
Sorry if i repeat myself. that's something i tend to do

My PC's components are as follows:
Cooler: Noctua NH-D14 65.0 CFM
CPU: AMD FX 9590
GPU: AMD R9 390X 8GB
Mobo: Asus M5A99FX PRO R2.0 AM3+ Motherboard
RAM: Kingston Beast 32GB DDR3-2133 (4x8GB sticks)
SSD: Samsung 840 EVO- Series 1TB 2.5"
HDD: Toshiba 3TB 3.5" 7200 RPM
PSU: EVGA SuperNOVA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply

The systems power draw under load according to pc part picker is 645W

You might just need a BIOS update.

Try that before getting a new board if you can. Worst case scenario, it still doesn't work, right?
