Hi there. I was wondering how "normal" is to see a BSOD nowadays. I haven't seen one in years and , all of a sudden, my system crashed while playing Assassin's Creed Revelations. A BSOD and then reboot.

Should i ignore it and see if it happens again?
Should i do s'thing?
Maybe I should add that three days ago , while playing another game, we had a power blackout, which lasted for a few minutes. Could these things be connected?
 
Thanks! I will install it and see what happens... Better not happen again though...
Is Assassin's Creed Revelations known to cause crashes?
 
For what it's worth, Assassins Creed always used to crash for my brother until I rolled back his overclock a touch. It's seems a particularly sensitive game.
 
Thanks for the answers!
No, i didn't check s'thing in particular, EXCEPT run Bluescreenview, reccomended by a friend. The result was the following:
Mini052212-01.dmp 22/5/2012 7:41:19 μμ KERNEL_MODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED 0x1000008e 0xc0000005 0xbd09d6f6 0xae38fad4 0x00000000 nv4_disp.dll nv4_disp.dll+8b6f6 NVIDIA Compatible Windows 2000 Display driver, Version 260.63 NVIDIA Compatible Windows 2000 Display driver, Version 260.63 NVIDIA Corporation 6.14.12.6063 32-bit nv4_disp.dll+8b6f6 C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini052212-01.dmp 4 15 2600 114.688

As i see it , it had s'thing to do with drivers.Does that give me peace of mind?
How do you check the discs and eventlog you suggested?
Again, thanks!
 
Press [WinKey]+[E], right-click a drive and select Properties. The disk checker can be found under the Tools tab.
