Crashing after Windows 10 Pro install

[jaguar3407]

I built his computer for a friend and have been trying to troubleshoot the problems but I'm not sure how to get it to stop freezing. Initially I was able to install all the bios and install and play a game on steam. I never had any problems then I gave it to my friend and now it keeps freezing. I tried installing windows 10 pro again with new downloaded software on a USB but it froze after 10-15 min. I've had trouble getting the motherboard to read the video card even though it monitor is hooked up through the video card. Any help is appreciated.

PC specs:
Asus M5A97 R2.0 AM3+
AMD FX-9590 4.7 GHz
2x8g G. Skill Sniper series DDR3 2133(PC3 17000)
Gigabyte Radeon RX460 4GB
Seagate 500GB 5900 RPM

Thanks for the info! That seems like an easy explanation. Never ran into that ever being an issue before...lesson learned I guess.
