  • Please check which process is causing this one to be deadlocked. You may find this article useful.

  • Firstly, you can use sp_who2 to find out what are the processess are runnng and which are causing deadlock.

  • Actually, it's difficult, if not impossible, to know after the event what the deadlocking process was unless you had already enabled the appropriate trace flag or started a Profiler trace. Do what the error message suggested, and re-run the transaction. If it succeeds, put the initial failure down to bad luck and move on. If this happens regularly, then you'll need to do some troubleshooting - the link that Pradeep posted is a good place to start.
