When i play/start a steam game it often crashes and goes blue screen. My motherboard is ASrock 990fx Extreme 3 and I think im with the latest BIOS - http://prntscr.com/3vytst. My video card is AMD r9 270x. Does anyone know to fix it?

PSU: 750 W , RAM: 2x4gb 1600MHz. For now it has been only happening on Steam games.

Not really sure what the model of the PSU is. Where can i check? I don't have the box anymore. Memtest86+ looks too complicated to do.

Does that mean that i'm basically screwed? I can't afford to buy another one right now. This one is barely even a month old.

Ok but I don't think the problem with the bsod has to do anything with the PSU. I think it is a problem with the FX processors and steam. Is there any way to fix it besides getting a new CPU or MOBO?
 
-you should post your actual memory .dmp file on a cloud server and I will take a quick look.
-lots of blue screen issues in steam are related to bugs in the network driver and just require a driver update.

power issues can also cause blue screens but there are only certain bugcheck codes that tend to occur.
(CPU generated internal error checks and some AMD graphics force a "unknown" bugcheck when they don't get proper power)

Bad motherboard too. 4+1 phase power is pretty anemic. Especially for a six or eight core cpu.
