Waddup guys, lately I've been trying to play a game called Team Fortress 2, and every 20-40 mins I play it it crashes by either having a BSOD or Hl2.exe has stopped working. I was thinking if I fixed that BSOD everything will be solved including that Hl2. Now that BSOD happens when I play Team Fortress 2 and other games.

SP1 isn't installed, please do the following:
Installing Windows 7 Service Pack 1
1. Visit the PC manufacturer's website and update ALL drivers. DO NOT use Windows Update or the "Update drivers" function of Device Manager.
2. Check Device Manager for any unknown/disabled devices - if there are unknown/disabled devices, fix them with the latest drivers from the device manufacturer's website (not the PC Manufacturer)
3. Visit Windows Update and get all updates
4. Visit Windows Update and get Service Pack 1 (usually under Important Updates). Read these notes for installing SP1: Steps to follow before you install Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 from the Microsoft Download Center
5. Visit Windows Update and get any other available updates
I notice that this is installed:
Start Menu\Programs\NETGEAR WG111v2 Smart Wizard Public:Start Menu\Programs\NETGEAR WG111v2 Smart Wizard Public
Win7 does not like wireless USB devices, particularly with older (Vista) drivers and it will cause BSOD's. Here's my rant on the subject:
I do not recommend using wireless USB devices. Especially in Win7 systems.
These wireless USB devices have many issues with Win7 - and using Vista drivers with them is almost sure to cause a BSOD.
Should you want to keep using these devices, be sure to have Win7 drivers - DO NOT use Vista drivers!!!
An installable wireless PCI/PCIe card that's plugged into your motherboard is much more robust, reliable, and powerful.
The memory dump is a STOP 0x124 error. These are generally hardware errors, but can be caused by other drivers.

The scmndisp.sys driver dates from 2007 - and this is a component of the NetGear Wireless device
Driver Reference Table - scmndisp.sys
Please follow the advice about this device that I posted above.

The vvftUVC.sys driver dates from 2007 - it belongs to the VMicro USB camera.
Driver Reference Table - vvftUVC.sys
Please update the drivers to the most recent, Win7 compatible version.

Please post back if this doesn't fix the BSOD's and we'll try some other stuff
