I'm afraid that there is not enough information your post to make it
possible to give solutions.

Except one: if it is acceptable that one of the process is always
is the victim, make this process emit SET DEADLOCK_PRIORITY LOW.
We have done this in quite a few places in our system. Background
processes don't scream so much about deadlocks as users do.

But if that is not an option, I can only suggest methods to get more
information.

First, have you enabled deadlock trace on your server and looked at
the output? To enable deadlock trace, use Enterprise Manager to add
these two startup options: -T 1204 -T 3605.

Once you have the deadlock output, try to narrow down exactly which
queries that collide. Once you have the queries, you could post them
together with the table definitions (including indexes!). Or you could
post the deadlock traces (which is not very easy to interpret).
