You're running Win98, right?

Hmmm . . . A friend of mine got that error (or something similar) quite a few times after he got his new system up and running w/ Win2k pro, but it always happened during gameplay.

I hate to ask this, but is your copy of UT pirated, or legit? If its warezed, then that might be causing your problems. If its not, then it might be the cd-rom or the harddrive.

hope that helped

Try deleting all the junk in your windows temp folder. Old UT install files on there.

I use to have this problem,
It might be something to do with DMA, if you turn it off it might work, worked for me.

is the system overclocked at all? It looks like its trying to get something out of the RAM but not being able to find it . . . or something.

could be a ram issue, or a cd-rom problem. Try installing the game with the cd rom from the other system and see what happens.
