since building my computer i have:
replaced my monitor (unrelated issue)
reinstalled my drivers for my graphics card.
added 2 new fans to my computer to keep it cooler as it was getting hot. (its no longer very hot when gaming)
ran ram checking software which found no problems.
ran hard drive checking software which found no problems.
checked for bios updates
really need some suggestions because i am compleatly lost, this is my first computer build (with help from a friend putting it together and finding the parts) and despite trying a lot of differnt things, we cant figure out what the problem is

AMD FX 8350
