Upgrade Fx 9590 freezing

Solution
Your motherboard cannot handle the 9590 at all. Running it is basically breaking your board since it draws so much power (220w+) on a board only designd to handle 125w cpu's at the max. Return it if you can but you cannot use that cpu. Even if you have a compatible motherboard (few work with it and those are expensive) the cpu itself is most of the time not able to stay at it's clockspeeds due to being vastly unstable.

The M5A97 (and the R2.0) only support up to 140W CPUs.
The FX9590 is a 220W chip (and can draw more).
Given the power delivery on the board, and lack of any decent VRM cooling..... the 9590 is never likely to be stable for any sustained load.
Your only real option is to undervolt/downclock it to 4Ghz (or potentially even less!), putting it right back to 8320 territory (if not worse).
The 9590's, stable, were limited to a handful of higher-end motherboards and, even then, some struggled a bit.

The CROSSHAIR V FORMULA-Z is the outright "best" board for the chip.... but there are other, decent 990FX boards.
The problem is:
Those boards are not cheap today (or when they were new, realistically) - they sell, USED for $200
You're investing in a quite dated architecture, considering the 9590 is essentially an overclocked 8350, which itself was an overclock 8320 (IIRC).
I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but the cost involved to get a compatible board is not going to be anywhere close to a proportionate for any "gains" vs the 8320 you started with.
You'd be better off returning the 9590 and sticking with the 8320.... Or trying to sell what you have and upgrade the entire platform.
