I set my maximum processor state in power settings below 100% to avoid overheating, because my games started getting FPS drops and I noticed a lot of thermal throttling.

Here's the parts list. I built it over a month ago. Over the last month, at least 11 times, I've had this issue where my display freezes for a bit, then it goes out, and then the fans go on full power. It's happened mere minutes after booting up the PC, hours into it being on while web...
