Find out what your mobo is then download the BIOS. Read the manual on how to update it

Its not the BIOS.

What motherboard do you have with that FX-9590. Also what are you using to cool it?

ive heard...

No.
You update the BIOS if and only if there is a specific BIOS upgrade that fixes the specific issue you are seeing.
"I've heard" does not cut it.

Go to the manufacturers website. Look up any and all BIOS updates. Se eif any relate to you issue.

If so, then you do it exactly how the manufacturer states. No exceptions, no deviations.
Exactly.

GA-78LMT-USB3 motherboard and im using the air cooling that came with my old cpu. i stressed it for 2 hours and it seemed like the cooling was fine

that motherboard does not support that 9590 cpu. it cannot provide all the power the cpu needs. that is your main issue. no bios update will fix it.

Ok, that is your problem. This is going to sound harsh, but this needs to be stressed as we have a lot of experience with these processors here.

You have 2 major problems, and there is NOTHING you can do to correct it with your current equipment.

1. That motherboard does not support that processor. There are VERY few AMD motherboards that can handle it, and that is not one of them. You need a 990FX based board, this is the list from AMD:

Asus Crosshair V Formula-Z
Asus Sabertooth 990FX/R2.0
Asus M5A99FX PRO/R2.0
ASRock Fatal1ty 990FX Professional
ASRock 990FX Extreme9
ASRock 990FX Extreme6
ASRock Fatal1ty 970 Performance/3.1
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD7
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5/R5
Gigabyte GA-990FXA-UD5
MSI 990FXA-GD80/V2

Without one of those there is ZERO chance of it working properly.

2. That CPU requires a Liquid cooler such as the Corsair H100i. That CPU fan from whatever you had before does not cut it.

Again Without purchasing both that CPU will never run properly, I don't care what anyone tells you. There is no quick fix, no bios update, nothing you can do other than make those 2 purchases to even think of having it work ok.

Personally I would get rid of it and buy something else (Intel or the upcoming AMD Ryzen next week)because even with all that you'd get beat by an i3-6100 in most games.

and if you continue to use that motherboard, this will be the result:
