Trap messages are almost always related to bad hardware. Some causes, Bad
RAM, bad video/NIC, any new hardware added recently. To answer your question
you really cannot reinstall NT to keep the old settings. You must either
repair with a CURRENT ERD or do a parallel install, reinstall to a different
partition, but that will only give you access to the data. Any settings will
be lost and so will all the software that is installed. Have there been any
recent changes to this machine? Any updates?
