Hello,

it seems that there is something wrong with your Windows configuration or maybe the SiteKiosk driver for the keyboard lock during system start-up is not compatible with your iMac hardware.
Running SiteKiosk with Windows on an iMac is not a tested or supported system environment.

Using Windows on a Mac
Mac hardware operates differently from PCs, and this public beta does not support all features of the Mac in Windows. http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=303572

Microsoft about PAGE_FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA:
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.
