General Mach Discussion / Motors work right when windows starts up and then stop after a minute or two
« on: November 10, 2010, 10:05:07 PM »
I recently bought mach 3 and a Fireball cnc maching with motors from Probotix. I am having trouble getting the motors to run.
If I start up windows and fire up mach 3 right away and jog the motors they run perfectly and nice and smooth. Then after a little while they start making alot of noise and move in jerky steps. I tried going through the windows xp setup on the machsupport website and it still acts weird.
I am running it on a desktop computer with a 1.8ghz AMD Athlon XP 2200 processor and 1GB of RAM.
