Have you just built the system yourself, and how old is it?

A few day`s, weeks old ?

The first thing I did was to check if your motherboard could support a 125W cpu. A FX-9370 cpu is 125W.
The answer to that is yes it does, so you are ok on that.

The next thing i looked up was the cpu support list for the motherboard, that you can see by clicking on the link bellow in my post to you.

The cpu support list, does not list the FX-9370 cpu as a tested 100% working cpu with the Gigabyte 990FXA-UD3 motherboard, as you can see. Click on link.

The closest cpu your 990FXA-UD3 motherboard does support is a FX 8370 cpu with a F10e bios firmware revision applied to the motherboard.

So I suggest you check to see what the current bios firmware revision is of your 990FXA-UD3 board is.
And if your bios firmware revision is less than the F10e stated.

Is to flash the bios on your motherboard to version F10e of the bios firmware.
That should resolve with luck the crashing or freezing of your system after 30 minuets of use.

If your case has room to fit extra fans I also recommend that if you currently have none fitted.

To fit extra 120mm or 140mm case fans to your system, extra cooling.
Just to keep the temps down a bit more, if you can fit some ok.

For the most part I suspect the cause of the freezing or lock up of your system is due to your board running a lower version of the bios firmware other than F10e.

If you apply the new update to the motherboard it will likely stabilize the system, preventing it locking up or freezing after 30 minuets of use.

Yes i built it myself its about 6/7 months old also I'm on rev 4.0 for the mobo and i just updated to F3 which supports FX-9370 but it still happens.
