My computer randomly shuts down or freezes up, and when it reboots it says "windows has encountered a serious error" blah blah blah and gives me the codes....

BCCode : 10000050 BCP1 : BAC0E000 BCP2 : 00000001 BCP3 : BF898B70
BCP4 : 00000000 OSVer : 5_1_2600 SP : 2_0 Product : 256_1

and the file location of...

C:\WINDOWS\Minidump\Mini071905-01.dmp
C:\DOCUME~1\DAN~1\LOCALS~1\Temp\WER2.tmp.dir00\sysdata.xml

So, I googled sysdata.xml and came up with a LOT of stuff...seems there is a whole slew of people having this problem before. Some claim it is a problem with Windows XP, some with compatibility issues, some say it is Microsoft's way of spying on the comp by wanting you to send the error reports and looking for pirated versions, some say it is a Graphic card/ driver issue, some say it is BIOS related and has to do with the temperature of the motherboard, some say it is RAM related-
Then there is the very long list of what every seems to think is the solution for each problem.
The list goes on and on..

What do I do??

Do you actually have an ATI RADEON video card?

If you do, it might be worth checking out the Microsoft Knowledge base article and updating your display drivers as they suggest.

I realize how terribly inconvenient this is Dan, but it's worth it. I formatted my laptop about 2 months ago now and it is TERRIFICALLY SPEEDY WITH NO PROBLEMS NOW.

Correct.

However, in the amount of friggin time it takes to troubleshoot the goddam thing you may as well just do the 'backup, erase, reinstall' thing.

Saves frustration on the "What the hell is wrong with my computer?" front as well as optimizes your system back to speedy settings.
