Hi sometimes (most of the times) when i open a game i get a bluescreen or it crashes,what is the problem?
My components:
GPU:AMD R7 260x(DirectCU II )
CPU:AMD FX-6100(stock cooler)
Hard-Drive: WD Blue 1tb
Memory:Kingston HyperX Savage 8gb 1600mhz CL9
Mb:ASRock 960GM-VGS3 FX
PSU: husktech 550W psu

The hard-drive is literally new,i bought it like 1 week ago,and i ran some tests for the ram memory and it says that the memory has no problems
Should i change the PSU? it has 550w and stuff... but it isnt even 80 plus its a cheap 20 dollars PSU,i bought it from a store in my city
 
Solution

Hm, it could be an issue that happened with all the games. try going to your csgo folder (here unless you installed it on a different drive: C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\SteamApps\common\Counter-Strike Global Offensive) and delete the folder labeled config. Then go to steam, right click csgo, go to properties...

Are you overclocking your CPU or GPU? if so try bumping those overclocks down as that will cause that problem. If not, or completely removing overclocks doesnt work, try re-downloading your drivers for the R7 260x. That should be the causes of that.

I tried... like 3 times and still nothing happens... I havent overclocked my CPU ,but my GPU is overclocked out of the box,should i try to clock it to the basic clock?

Then go to steam, right click csgo, go to properties, local files tab, and click verify integrity of game cache. Once thats done try launching again.

Yes,thanks but it wasnt actually the answer to the problem
The problem was that Raptr was interfering with steam,thats why it sometimes crashed and didnt give me blue screen,but after i uninstalled raptr it only gave me bluescreen till i did what you said now its all fine,im glad that you answered me cuz i was worried and prepared to buy another motherboard and a better psu
