If you have the KB 973879 update installed, uninstall it and reboot. Otherwise if that doesn't work try looking through the .dmp files.

this will be a shame esp with those games. but uninstall everything that you have recently installed. the games, antivirus and the firewall. update the drivers for everything on your pc's, go to the manufacturers website (dell in this case) and update absolutely everything.
once you have maxed out your updates (you might have to reflash your bios too) install the games anti-virus and firewall.
Also remember you are running 32-bit applications on a 64-bit OS, so compatibility is especially an issue. updates are essential right now go to microsoft update and update everything from there too.

Uninstalling everything is unnecessary. The games will run in compatibility mode and the antivirus apps should support 64-bit. The drivers need to updated though.

If installing all these programs caused the problem uninstalling until he fixes this will be a short term fix.
If he is updating drivers and the computer BSOD's again because of the applications, he will be even more screwed than before.

There is nothing about software causing the problem.

Reboot and see if it still Blue Screens.
