BSOD while playing games after Dusting

Hi everyone. A couple days ago I dusted my Dell Laptop computer with a can of compressed air and ever since then, I have been getting BSOD at random times when I play games on my laptop. It doesn't happen every single time I play a game but it happens frequent enough for it to be a problem. It happens with more than one game so I know that it isn't the game causing the problem. I did not have this problem before dusting my computer and I'm worried that I may have damaged some of the hardware. That said, if the hardware was damaged, wouldn't it be BSOD-ing more frequently and consistently?

The appropriate BSOD zip file is attached.

I have looked at your dump files and can find little similarities between them.

All of those are from McAfee. McAfee is a well known cause of BSODs and should be removed from your computer. This will help you do that. It is not easy to get rid of, How to uninstall or re-install supported McAfee products using the Consumer Products Removal tool

Also, please monitor your CPU and GPU temps all the time. Due to you just dusting the laptop I would like to get an idea of the temp ranges. Almost all of the dump files have different Bugcodes and different causes which is indicative of Memory problems, but we will try a couple other things first.

Please open an elevated command prompt ( click start, type cmd in the search box, right click on the cmd entry and select run as administrator) in the black box that opens, copy/paste sfc /scannow. If you decide to type it, notice the space between the sfc and the /. It is a system file checker which will scan your system files and attempt to correct any missing or corrupt files. What we want are the results to say windows found no integrity violations. If it says files were found but could not be repaired, close the box, reboot and run it again, after opening the administrative command prompt. You may have to reboot and run it three times for it to repair all system files. If it can't repair them after 3 reboots, let us know.
