It sounds like you may have installed XP using an outdated motherboard. BIOS updates are very risky, but that is what MS suggests:

On the cd rom message, about all I can suggest is checking through google and google groups, many others have had it; perhaps a bad lens on the drive?

As for the DCOM error, it may not be significant. In fact it is a security risk all together, you might try disabling dcom using Steve Gibson's approach and see if that rids the event viewr of it.
