Classic question on FX system is what motherboard? They are far from equal!

 

[Narik0]

Motherboard is M5A78L-M/USB3

 

[rolli59]

There is your trouble, not really suitable for the power hungry 8350 because of a lack luster power design on the board.

 

[Narik0]

Whats the best solution a replacement mobo? can you link me a good one for the 8350 (or would a new cpu/ram/mobo be better) and some good thermal paste?

 

[rolli59]

Upgrade would be the best thing.

 

[Narik0]

Still need help with this issue a simple mobo replacement would be the cheapest right? is it the mobo or the cpu?

I'd just underclock the CPU and see what happens from there. A motherboard is cheapest if you're replacing hardware, but I can't in good conscience recommend dumping $100 in 2018 into a 2011 platform.

Most likely motherboard, AM3+ boards are dropping out of retail so maybe a used FX990 board. Something like this https://www.ebay.com/itm/ASUS-M5A99FX-PRO-R2-0-AM3-AMD-Motherboard-NO-RESERVE/282795644883?epid=127427658&hash=item41d7ef17d3:g:UBMAAOSwpFlaTRXU

Underclock it to what its currently going at 4.2?

Lower the multiplier incrementally and test to see if there's a clock speed at which you don't have crashes.
