XP blue Screens: Error codes provided

I have been running XP Corporate Edition for about 2 weeks now. Blue screens of death seem to happen more often, and when I reboot, XP tells me that the system has recovered from a serious error. This is what I have from 2 different crashes:

BCCode : d1 BCP1 : 00000027 BCP2 : 00000002 BCP3 : 00000000
BCP4 : 00000027 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0 Product : 256_1

D:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini101201-01.dmp
D:\DOCUME~1\VISPER~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

Another crash's info:

BCCode : c5 BCP1 : 00000000 BCP2 : 00000002 BCP3 : 00000001
BCP4 : 80537213 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 0_0 Product : 256_1


D:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini101201-02.dmp
D:\DOCUME~1\VISPER~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER1.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

I used to run Win98SE/Win2k dual boot, but bought a new HD and installed Win98SE(Fat32) and WinXP(NTFS). Any help in diagnosing the problem would be appreciated.
 
Dude, I get the exact same shi[/b]t. It was bugging me to hell, so I reformatted and it still happens. I think it has to do something with imapi (do you have a burner?). As soon as you log-in to your account, press alt+ctrl+delete, go to processes tab and wait and after a few sec and you should see imapi.exe process launching and disappearing after a few seconds, and I think that's usually when the system bombs and gives the error (heh, Win XP's CD burning ability is made by roxio - the company that released one of the buggiests software in the history - EZ CD Creator, so I wouldn't be amazed if this theory was true). My other theory is it's the via 4-in-1s that come with XP. Is there any way to uninstall them since they aren't really need for VIA Apollo Pro 133A (only AGP update is needed)? Anyway, here's my setup:

P3 733 (stock clock)
Tyan Trinity 400 (VIA Apollo Pro 133A)
256 MB of Crucial PC133 RAM
Creative Labs GeForce256 SDR with nVidia reference 21.83s
Creative Labs Sound Blaster Live! Value
Nec 8/40 DVD-ROM
Plextor 12/10/32A burner
IBM 20 GB HD
[Edit] Uconn411, post your system configuration to see if we can narrow it down to a component or something.
 
I do have a cdr, I will have to try that. I thought I read somewhere that the temp file that causes the problem should be deleted, but I am not too sure of that. System Components are as follows:

MSI KT7 Pro 2-A
Duron 800mhz O.C. to 1000mhz
488MB Ram
90 GIGs
TDK 8x burner
Hauppage WinTV-D card
Promise Ultra 66
Linksys NIC
MX300 Soundcard
 
I forgot to add that I have a Linksys NIC too. Also, you ommited to say what gfx card you have w/ what drivers. Where did you read about this temp file?
 
did you guys do clean installs of Windows XP, or were they upgrades from previous OS's? I'm pretty sure that if these were upgrades, a reformat and clean install should fix a lot of stuff (upgrading instead of clean install seems to be causing a lot of people problems).
 
To answer a few q.'s, I did do a clean install. I actually ended up formatting the 1st install, b/c Win XP was unable to startup, even in Safe Mode. So, on the 2nd clean install, I am still having problems. The only difference between the 1st and 2nd clean install was that on the 2nd one, I formatted using XP's NTFS. I haven't installed any burning software, I used the one included with XP. Oh, and I forgot 1 component, Voodoo 3 video card.
