BSOD while playing game, Nvlddmkm.sys error - only works in safe mode
Hi everyone. My boyfriend's computer has crashed - the dreaded BSOD came up while in mid-game. It flashes for about a second and then restarts itself. I can't boot the computer normally without the BSOD coming up again with the same error. I've managed to take a picture of the error screen and I'll upload it here. Sorry its blurry, my phone couldn't focus fast enough.

I'm currently operating the damn thing in safe mode and frantically Googling for solutions from my laptop, but it has proved fruitless so far so I'm hoping someone from here can point me in the right direction. I've fixed and tinkered with laptops before successfully, but taking on a gaming PC is a new challenge for me.
I believe this is a driver issue. He has been using Windows 7 (although I don't think its legitimate) and its a 32bit OS. (I've tried to get him a legit 64-bit Windows 7, but that's another issue in itself, so for now its the former). I've also added the BSOD zip folder.
Please help!
