Computer fan loud and system freezing out of nowhere

[Roxas_Boy]

Out of nowhere just randomly when I turned on my PC this morning it's main fan (CPU cooler fan) went super loud and didn't settle down and after a few hours or minutes throughout the day the computer would freeze and I'd have to manually unplug it from the wall for it to be turned off then take off the power cable and plug it back in to turn it back on. This has been persisting the whole day and I'm at a loss as to what's causing it. This system has been serving me well for the past year since I built it. Nothing is overclockjed and coretemp says my temps are fine (23c-31c)

The specs are:

AMD FX 8320 CPU
8GB G.Skill single RAM
GA-990FXA-UD3 Motherboard
R9 270X Sapphire 2GB GPU
Coolermaster V450 Gold 80+ PSU
Coolermaster Hyper 212 Evo CPU cooler

Thanks for the assistance and have a good day.

Sounds like its getting too hot, maybe try new cooler paste on CPU?

I know you write your temps etc. but maybe when it happens, try to go into bios immediately after and check CPU temps.

It does sound like it's getting too hot. Check your heatsink and make sure it's clear any dust. Amd processors run a bit hot. Catalyst control center will give you the true temps. I would go with that instead of coretemp. Also check and make sure the heatsink is still mounted tightly and not loose on one corner or something, if it is remove it and clean off the old compound and apply new, reinstall the heatsink.

^ and overdrive is the tool to use with and processors nowdays.

You can't really rely on core temp too much on most am3+ boards.
