this week after trying to actually cut something on my newly built machine i found that while in mach3 and running the g-code the computer would randomly lock and only a hard power cycle would bring it back. i started doing some research and seen the xp optimization doc, so i reformatted the computer and installed xp pro as a standard pc. once i reinstalled the pc and all the basic drivers to function i installed mach3 and tried cutting again, well it locked up 2 different times. if i have mach3 closed and just in the os i have left it on overnight and no lockups.
can someone point me to any fix or suggestions? or should i reinstall vista 32bit and try that?
the pc was my workstation that i just upgraded from so i know it is known good, it is a p4 3.4mhz with 4gig memory.
thanks
