So now whenever you pressed the reset button it asks you if you want to clear the memory or not.. So I did no 5 times, and it still locked up....

So I pressed the button and it cleared everything out :-/

That X50V or X51V is starting to look very nice right now, and I wonder if I should buy anything else for my X5 as I don't want to deal with this again.

The problem began when you pulled the CF card when it was probably still being accessed and it may have become corrupt, or there's a corrupt entry in the Registry. Did you try the soft resets with the card out?
This would probably have happened with an X50/51; I always make sure there are no running programs and hit the power button before swapping cards.
I would also suggest Sprite Backup, this would have saved you a lot of aggravation.
