I recently revived my old pc. [New] Mobo, CPU, GPU, RAM. [Old] PSU, Tower, HDD.
 

It runs Assassin's Creed Unity very smoothly but suddenly crashes to a blue screen ":( Pc had encountered a problem and needs to restart."

 

Question is: Could the old PSU/HDD be causing this? It never crashes during other functions. And AC Unity is the only modern [this gen] game I have to put the machine through its paces. I have Skyrim and I believe it's never crashed while I play Skyrim. I bought the parts based on a "budget gaming pc" site I found, I doubt the problem is that the pc can't handle AC Unity. Cuz... it runs... SO well when it does run. I even played it on min settings just to be sure... still crashed.

 

NB: Sometimes it crashes after just a few mins of play [5-10] and other times I play for long periods [2-4 hours] before it crashes.

 

New Parts-

RAM:Kingston HyperX FURY 4GB 1866MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM

GPU:EVGA GeForce GTX 1050 SC GAMING, 2GB GDDR5

CPU:Intel G3258 4 Pentium 3.20 GHz 3M Cache 2 Core Processor (BX80646G3258)

MOBO:MSI H81M-P33 Desktop Motherboard - Intel H81 Chipset - Socket H3 LGA-1150

 

Old parts-
PSU: MicroTouch ATX500W

HDD: 320gb Seagate 7200RPM

First thought is possibly an overheat. PSU could also be it. does it shut down if you stress test with e.g. prime95? 

 

In any case, Event Viewer will tell us more.
