Help says it can be caused by Lexar Media USB Universal Reader (type the 
error in help while online)
Also generally (Win 2000 Resource Kit Reference) (a fault means in the 
context below that it needs to read from the page file - it doesn't mean 
faulty - faults are normal and happen many times a minute - the processor 
tries to read the memory, can't find it, generates a processor fault, 
windows memory manager takes over, loads the memory from page file, and 
everything goes on happily - usually)
Explanation:
This Stop message occurs when requested data is not found in memory. The 
system generates a fault, which normally indicates that the system looks for 
data in the paging file. In this circumstance, however, the missing data is 
identified as being located within an area of memory that cannot be paged 
out to disk. The system faults, but cannot find, the data and is unable to 
recover. Faulty hardware, a buggy system service, antivirus software, and a 
corrupted NTFS volume can all generate this type of error.
User Action:
This Stop message usually occurs after the installation of faulty hardware 
or in the event of failure of installed hardware (usually related to 
defective RAM, either main memory, L2 RAM cache, or video RAM). If hardware 
has been added to the system recently, remove it to see if the error recurs. 
If existing hardware has failed, remove or replace the faulty component. Run 
hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer. For details on 
these procedures, see the owner's manual for your computer. Another cause of 
this Stop message is the installation of a buggy system service. Disable the 
service and determine if this resolves the error. If so, contact the 
manufacturer of the system service about a possible update. If the error 
occurs during system startup, restart your computer, and press F8 at the 
character-mode menu that displays the operating system choices. At the 
resulting Windows 2000 Advanced Options menu, choose the Last Known Good 
Configuration option. This option is most effective when only one driver or 
service is added at a time. Antivirus software can also trigger this Stop 
message. Disable the program and determine if this resolves the error. If it 
does, contact the manufacturer of the program about a possible update. A 
corrupted NTFS volume can also generate this Stop message. Run Chkdsk /f /r 
to detect and repair disk errors. Restart the system before the disk scan 
begins on a system partition. If the hard disk is SCSI, check for problems 
between the SCSI controller and the disk. Finally, check the System Log in 
Event Viewer for additional error messages that might help pinpoint the 
device or driver causing the error. Disabling memory caching of the BIOS 
might also resolve it. For more troubleshooting information about this Stop 
message, refer to the Microsoft Knowledge Base at
