FX processors go from cool as a cucumber to over heat VERY rapidly without a decent cooler on them.

If you want to OC then at least upgrade the cooler. If this has a cheap mobo then you will be limited by the TDP on the board.

Before you start OCing it get a good cooler and thermal paste.

Your PC uses a very very low end motherboard.You must NOT overclock your CPU.Your motherboard will probably burn from the extra heat it will generate.Your only option is overclocking while undervolting.But im not sure your motherboard even allows overclocking.
