Try installing the AMD Dual-Core optimizer, blue screens while playing are symptoms of instability in your system, since you have an AMD Athlon 64 X2 processor it could be your problem:

those "high end games for the PC" are nothing compared to the resources hog pcsx2 can be.
You really need to have an Healthy PC to make it work

What you report has all symptoms of hardware problem and should seek for the causes and correct as soon as possible.
It's not a PCSX2 issue except where it puts the machine under stress (yes, how Jesalvein already said, emulators are very intensive and demanding on machines).
My advice is to look inside the Windows "Control Panel" -> "Administrative Tools" -> "Event Viewer" -> "Windows Logs" for the "System" log.
Search for lines marked with Critical and Errors (you can filter the output to eliminate the large amount of informative lines)
The "good" part is the information will be there even if the computer crashes or need to be forcibly shutdown.
Edit: The machine has not enough horse-power to run most demanding games but should not crash under PCSX2, doing so is signal of hardware/driver problem.
Maybe the path to get to Event Viewer is different under your actual OS, but it's there.
Imagination is where we are truly real

depends on the game, actually.
But some of them would require a 4.0Ghz dual core with at least a 9800 GTX
