I have had the same problem, my system is also a 8250 with SP2. The problems also began recently. Could they be related to the latest Windows update?
I have noticed that the blue screen most frequently occurs after a game I have been playing (Warlords Battlecry III) has crashed catastrophically (by this I mean because everything, savegames, campaigns, etc. is lost). But, is the game causing the problem, or is it crashing *because* rdbss.sys has gone belly-up?
In the last few days I have not had the blue screens so frequently as at first, but now once or twice a day I get a scary popup (not related to playing the game) that says that Windows has recovered from a serious error. Yay for the recovery, but leaves me wondering what's wrong... I'm seriously considering restoring the system.
Hey rokbottom let me know if you get any more info, I've been scouring the internet and haven't found anything really useful (only a fix for a similar problem in Windows 2000).
I found the same "fix" for Win 2000, which was essentially to contact Microsoft for a "hot fix," which I did, but they sent me back to Dell.
I can usually make it happen on my computer when there is a big load on memory. If AIM, Outlook, and Bear Share are all open, the computer "hangs" for many seconds when you try switching windows or opening email. Eventually I get the blue screen.
well i just wanted to say i have been experiencing the same problem and with the blue screen and the error msg... but it happens when im playing a game like Battlefield 2 of Wolfenstein ET and anyother game that takes up a lot of the system...... so if any of you r able to find the reason of a fix i would be greatful if u could pass the knowlege on... and if i find a fix ill let u know too.

Keep in touch.
