It worked and I was chuffed.
The things I tried were:
While on the desktop, press Windows Key and type CMD.
Right-click Command Prompt and select Run as administrator.
Type ipconfig /release in the command prompt.
Wait a few seconds for a reply that the IP address has been released.
Type ipconfig /renew in the command prompt.
Wait a few seconds for a reply that the IP address has been re-established.
Type ipconfig /flushdns in the command prompt.
Type exit.
Then I reduced the power profile in Windows for my CPU to 95%
EDIT
Then I tried your fix and it worked - I opened the shortcut to Battle.net as administrator - once opened - i pressed PLAY - once I was open - before I joined the game I used the Windows system key to get back to the programme files and renamed those two files with a 1 at the end and loaded the game.
I left the game open all day - just started popped back on when I wanted to play.
So whats happening here? Any ideas? Not tried it today but will report back.

I'm not quite sure what you mean mate? Do you mean it's crashing again?
If so, you have to make sure that you rename those exe files each and every time you launch the game. If you've only done it once that won't work because the game re-creates and replaces the exe files with the original exe files each time you launch the game.
So this is what I do each time, I launch the game, I go back to modern warfare folder, I delete the two files we already renamed and you will set that the game has re-created the original exe files so you have to rename them again.
So each time you launch the game you delete the two files your rename, and then you rename the two exe's again.
It's still working for me here, day 3!
EDIT: Or did I just miss-interpret what you were asking? Were you asking how this works? If that is your question, I have no idea why this works tbh lol.
It's working for me and my cousin as he had the same crashes to desktop before too but this fix has solved his problem now also.
I've been gaming on PC my whole life, PC game problems are weird. And their solutions are even weirder. I remember back in the day for AVP (Aliens Vs Predator) I would have to go to my sound settings in windows and switch it from 96hz to 44hz or something like that. That would solve my crashes to desktop...this was probably 20 years ago or something lol.
