Performing an SFC and DISM scan
If none of the fixes above worked for you, it’s entirely possible that these random BSODs pointing towards Rdbss.sys happen due to some type of system file corruption. Fortunately, every recent Windows version is equipped to repair these sorts of issues. DISM (Deployment Image Servicing and Management) and SFC (System File Checker) are two consolidated utilities that are capable of fixing low and tier instances of corruption. If you want to put them to good use, start with a simple SFC scan – This operation is 100% local and can run without an Internet connection. What this will do is compare your current OS files against a list of healthy equivalents and replace any files corrupted OS files. Note: Once you start up this procedure, do not interrupt it forcibly. Otherwise, you run the risk of creating additional logical errors. After this operation is complete, restart your computer and wait for the next startup to complete. Once your computer boots back up press forward with a DISM scan. Note: Unlike SFC, DISM requires a stable internet connection because it uses a sub-component of Windows Update to download healthy OS files that will need to replace the corrupted equivalents. Once the DISM scan is complete, restart your computer and see if the BSOD crashes are now resolved.
Resetting every Windows Component
If none of the potential fixes we’ve presented so far have allowed you to stop the constant Rdbss.sys BSOD, it’s very likely that you’re dealing with serious system file corruption that you will not be able to fix conventionally. In this case, you should be able to fix the problem entirely by resetting every relevant Windows component. When doing this, you have two ways forward – You can go for a complete OS wipe or you can target only the files belonging to your operating system:
Repair install – This is also known as an in-place repair procedure. It’s very recommended if you have important information that’s currently being stored on the OS drive. But it’s important to keep in mind that this will require you to use a compatible Windows installation media. However, the main advantage of this is that you get to keep all your applications, games, user preferences, and personal media.Clean install – This is the easier operation out of the bunch since this can be initiated directly from the Windows GUI menu without the use of a compatible installation media. But unless you back up your data in advance, be prepared for complete data loss on your OS drive.
