AMD FX-9590 Crash Fix?

[sithiis]

After around 10-30 minutes of high-graphics game play (ex. X-COM 2), the computer freezes all sound, video and is entirely unresponsive until a hard restart. I have been "lucky" enough to catch it freezing while looking at the sensor data from the CPU and it is within 14C-40C and is *not* overheating.
The computer runs fine rendering audio, graphics intense video processing, and lesser intensity games but for an unknown reason after a short period of playing different graphics-heavy games it causes this crash. I would be grateful is someone knew a solution to this problem. Thanks.

BUILD:
CPU- AMD FX-9590
CPU Cooler- Corsair H105
Motherboard- Asus M5A99FX
GPU- AMD Radeon R9-390
PSU- SuperNOVA NEX650G Gold 650w
16GB RAM
Windows 8.1



**Update** I installed a Corsair 1000W PSU yesterday. I have also tried opening the case to a large household fan. To my dismay, I found the total freeze still occurs after roughly the same period of game time. Any other possible causes for this problem? Or any other ways of finding a cause?

That is quite the load, for that tier 3 PSU. The GPU is a 275w+ card, and the CPU is 220w, so you are already near 500w, before counting the rest of your components. I would suggest stepping up to a tier 1, or 2 unit, at least 850w. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/id-2547993/psu-tier-list.html

i would say you need a better psu to run that

definitely better PSU. I have the same system but with a 8350 not a 9350 and i have peak draws of over 700 watts.

You might want to test by removing the side cover of your case and pointing a house fan into it, the motherboards VRM's could also be overheating if there is poor airflow.
