hello, so my custom built gaming pc keeps freezing during use. I can play Minecraft anywhere from 2 minutes to 5 hours before it crashes. It has been doing this ever since it was made and it has gotten more frequent (and 10x more aggravating) in the last week. Any help will be appreciated!

My Components are:
Motherboard: MSI 990FXA GAMING (MS-7893)
CPU: AMD FX-9590
12 GB of RAM
Graphics Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 960
HDD's: 1TB and 4 TB
SSD: 500 GB (contains windows 10 home edition)

I tried running chkdsk and no problems were found
 
the issue is the cpu and the vrm on the mb. there not made to handle the wattage of that cpu. you can swap it out for 8000 cpu or slow the 9000 cpu down. if there been built not too long ago i would try and send them back wit hthe ram and go with the newer ryzan cpu.

How would one turn down the 9000 cpu down? I'm not very experienced with computers... sorry.
