When I try to play any game or download something, the PC freezes and i am forced to restart the pc. I can regularly browse the internet and go on youtube, etc. I built this yesterday and trying to figure out what's wrong.

PLZ HELP

SETUP:
PSU - SENTEY 725W XPLUS
CPU - AMD 9370
GPU - SAPPHIRE NITRO R9 380X
MOBO - ASUS 970 PRO GAMING/AURA
HDD/SSD - WD CAVIAR BLUE 160GB / SAMSUNG 850 EVO 250GB
COOLER - ANTEC KUHLER H20 650
RAM - CORSAIR XMS3 DDR3 2000MHz 8GB

What are your temperatures while gaming? I saw a similar post with an 8350 today and the issue was that his CPU was overheating while gaming, causing it to throttle and freeze.

how do you check the temps while gaming?


EDIT: would it just be easier to get an fx8350 and install that with the setup i have now and upgrade the cooler later if the cpu temp is the problem?
