Well let's see if we can narrow this down using the Event Viewer. Start -> Right-click Computer -> Manage. In Computer Management, click on Event View (left-pane) -> Windows Logs -> Applications. You will see a list of all of the applications and their installations. Scroll down until and check out the "MsiInstaller" entries under the "Source" column. You should see ones with an error (red !). Read the bottom pane and see what happened.
This is what I found:

I also searched for any errors occurring around the time of Modern Warfare crashing causing all this red adn green dots. This seems to be the one.
