So I recently built my gaming PC with the help of my friend and we installed everything just right. The computer seemed to be working fine. I downloaded CSGO and played it for about 2 hours and noticed my CPU fan speeding up a lot. Now I am rather new to computer building as well as PC gaming, but the CPU fan was spinning at a great speed that was rather loud. I then noticed my game kept crashing and freezing and even blue screened once, so I contacted my friend and researched to try to find a solution to this problem. We came to the conclusion that my CPU is overheating. The CPU I am using is an "AMD FX-8350 Black Edition Vishera 8-Core 4.0 GHz (4.2 GHz Turbo) Socket AM3+ 125W". And as many people have told me, this should not be happening. Does anyone have a solution to cool down my CPU, or is this normal? I changed my BIOS to a different setting since the overheating issue and have noticed it still speeds up a lot and is still loud. Thank you.

1. The first thing that pops into my head is: Did you apply the thermal paste prior to installing the CPU into its slot? If not, I suggest you invest 2-4 dollars and get 1gramm and apply.
2. How is the air flow?
3. Invest into better cooling CPU fan.
4. Invest into water cooling?
5. Take a look at this thread, a person had the same issue: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-2770309/amd-fx8350-overheating-0ghz.html
