This computer is dedicated.  I have stopped everything I could running in the background.  When I first installed mach 3 I didn't restart, I didn't read the manual.  After reading that I reinstalled and restarted after install but it still restarts.

I have been having some bad luck with mach 3.  I installed it and it works fine but it crashes the computer.  It shows blue screen of death and restarts.  Then says the system has recovered from a serious error.  It does it at different times, sometimes as soon as I start mach 3 and some times when I try to jog.  One thing that always does it pretty quick is to run a program.  It will restart everytime very quickly.  I have reinstalled the driver and the special driver that has helped others so I have read.  When I put the special driver in the last time it ran the longest it ever has maybe not from that but I don't know what to do about it.  Has anyone found a fix for this.  Is it my computer or what, should I try to reinstall windows.

Any advice is helpful.

I think I figured out what it is.  I uninstalled and reinstalled mach 3 and it is working better than ever the motors even move smoother now even in jog mode.  I think the driver was corrupt.  Thanks for the help.

All changing the settings seems to do is change the duration that it stays on before stopping.  It still jogs fine but stops and starts when running code.  I dont know what the problem is.  Sometimes it will do it and other times it doesnt.  It usaully does it only rarely when I try it will it run without stopping.

I have tried doing this but if you turn steps per unit up the motors cant respond fast enough and the just vibrate and dont even rotate.  I'm just testing with small motors so I dont damage my good motors.  The only thing this does is make the motors vibrate and if I run code they just stop vibrating for a second instead of stop rotating.

Its about 1.5 revs of the motor, 48 steps per unit.  And it really is not a stutter the motors actually stop completely then start again over and over.  I dont even have it hooked up to a machine yet I am just testing it first.  I just have my motors side by side on my bench.  If you tell it to rapid a few inches it will start to rotate then stop then start again, it looks like a certain increment before it stops, until it finally gets to where it is going.  And yes all axis stop and the same time when running both at the same time.  If a single axis move just that axis stops obviously.  What is weird is that it will jog just fine even multiple axis at the same time.  Its just when running code.  I had this problem the other day and I messed with the motor tuning settings and it quit.  At least thats what I thought helped it.

Thanks

I have just finished my circuit and my stepper motors were working great.  Now when I run any g-code either either manual or a program the motors stop for a brief instance at the same time then start again.  They stop about every 1.5 rotations.  It does'nt matter if it is a rapid move or a slow feed move it always does it now.  What's weird is that I can jog it extremely fast and they never stutter at all.  The DRO on screen stops and everything.  I have messed with motor tuning settings with no luck.  Why is mach 3 doin this.  It just looks like the software is taking a break for a split second then it goes on. 

Any advice is helpful.
