So I was booting up by computer this morning, I started up Steam and Skype, when it blue screened and shut down. I tried to find the error log and post it. I haven't found anything with McAfee, and I didn't install any drivers recently. I managed to find this error report:

The computer has rebooted from a bugcheck. The bugcheck was: 0x000000c2 (0x0000000000000007, 0x000000000000109b, 0x000000000004000e, 0xfffffa800b5d30f0). A dump was saved in: C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP. Report Id: 071214-18018-01.

And this later on:

The application-specific permission settings do not grant Local Launch permission for the COM Server application with CLSID
{C97FCC79-E628-407D-AE68-A06AD6D8B4D1}
and APPID
{344ED43D-D086-4961-86A6-1106F4ACAD9B}
to the user NT AUTHORITY\SYSTEM SID (S-1-5-18) from address LocalHost (Using LRPC). This security permission can be modified using the Component Services administrative tool.

Was this the cause of by BSOD? I am quite worried, although upon a reboot, everything appears to be ok... I couldn't find anything else with hexidecimal is the logs. Please help!

A quick google search and a quick glance at this Microsoft forum page (link) reveals that it might be a driver problem. Did you complete all the Windows updates? Did you install all the latest drivers? How about your camera and sound card drivers? Chipset drivers? The latest GPU drivers? Directx? Make sure it is ALL up to date.

Hopefully. If it does happen again, though, and everything is up to date then I'd DL memtest86+ and run a full RAM test. Sometimes random BSODs can be caused by memory errors. Once, I was getting driver and Directx related BSODs according to the codes that were being displayed on the BSOD itself. After around the 10th BSOD or so, I decided to run a memtest and one of my 2x 8GB sticks of RAM was throwing up literally thousands of errors. It wouldn't hurt to run a memtest anyway even if you don't get another BSOD. Most RAM has a lifetime warranty but if it is new enough that you can return it to the store you got it from, that is the better way to RMA it... if it is bad of course.
