About a month into my new build I got a BSOD while playing BF3.

It has not happened since in the past 2 days.

Should I worry about this, or just monitor the situation?

Specs:

MSI H81 mobo
Pentium Haswell OCed to 4.1ghz (have backed down to 3.9)
8GB 1333 RAM
WD 500GB HDD
Windows 7 64 bit
Radeom 260X 1GB
 
I would not worry about it unless it happens repeatedly. It could be as simple as a driver issue that is fixed in an update.
 
I wouldn't worry about it too much if it bothers you, you can always record the BSOD and research what the cause *may*be.
 
There's a *wonderful* (free) little program from resplendence called whocrashed. Run it after a BSOD and it will tell you exactly what program or driver crashed. Really helps to know what you're dealing with.
