Its probably that cpu, it is infamous for being a hot unstable monstrosity. Also your power supply is lacking AMD actually recommends 1000watts when using that cpu, it doesn't really need that much but 520watts is pushing it. I would assume either your power supply is not adequate, your cpu is too hot, or just unstable, or all three.

Do you know the temps? Assuming the cpu cooler is mounted properly and you have adequate airflow through the radiator, underclock and undervolt the cpu. Not many other things you can do to bring down temps with a water cooler, it will cool what it is able to cool and if the cpu is pumping out more heat than the cooler can displace its going to overheat.

if u r using more then 2 antiviruseprograms then uninstall one.use only 1 program.
and run your computer in safe mode.and check whether it still freezes after 5 mins or not,if it does then its a hardware issue and if not then its a software issue.
now assuming that it didnt freeze,run msconfig through run command(win+R) and select the startup tab and untick all unnecessry programs and goto services and disable all unecessary services.
and still there is an issue of freezing in normal mode but not in safe mode then u need to install a fesh copy of windows.

well thats it for the software issue.
