Recently I bought a Gigabyte 970A-3 mobo for my pc. Ever since I put it in, my system crashes after some time of use. I am sure that everything is put in properly and I have heard all the clicks to make sure everything is in. The only problem I can see is the CPU is kind of warm but I have an H55 water cooler and idle is about 38 degrees. Though its hot, I haven't seen any threads saying that system service exception is due to overheating CPU. In terms of PSU, I have a h1000i at 1000 watts. Someone Please help, Its almost to the point where I can't use it due to worry that it'll crash and I'll lose saved data and be banned. My specs are as follows.

AMD Fx 9350
MSI GTX 1080 8gb
BallistiX sport 16gb
Gigabyte 990A-3
Samsung 850 EVO 500gb

By the way, I have already reinstalled windows from a separate USB 3 times, making sure the windows copy is not corrupted in any way. Please help!

That motherboard is not even designed to support a 220 watt processor and their no way a H55 can keep it cool.
The processor is not even on the motherboards support list.
Gigabyte 970A-3
No such model. I'm sure it just a careless error.

The AMD FX 9000 Series processors, featuring a 220 Watt TDP, have special system requirements including a robust liquid cooling system. For more information, see the AMD FX 9000 Series system requirements page.

The Thermal Design Power (TDP) is the average maximum power a processor can dissipate while running commercially available software. TDP is primarily used as a guideline for manufacturers of thermal solutions (heatsinks/fans, etc) which tells them how much heat their solution should dissipate.

So what motherboard do you think I should get to support this? Also the motherboard in question is this one ASRock 970A-G/3.1 Socket AM3+/ AMD 970/ DDR3/ Quad CrossFireX/ SATA3&USB3.1/ M.2/ A&GbE/ ATX Motherboard
