General Mach Discussion / Re: Mach3 won't keep zero!

CPU usage is down at 20% or so. I wasn't having this kind of trouble even with a 600 MHz machine, I really doubt it's a performance issue.

Okay now something entirely different is happening. I can run the program and then the DROs jump like crazy, and the steppers lock up and turn on and off. What the heck is happening?

1.2 ghz atom, 1 gig of ram. Not a laptop, but potentially a laptop chipset since it's an itx motherboard. Plenty of cycles and memory to go around though...

General Mach Discussion / Mach3 won't keep zero!

So I notice that my machine won't keep its zero, so I write a program to confirm this. I leave it to g0 x0 y0 z0, g0 x1 y1 z1, and I let it run for an hour and it's still dead on from what I can see. The monitor had gone into power saving so I wiggle the mouse. The machine is still running, and it IMMEDIATELY loses it's zero and smashes the bit I have in the collet. It obviously lost a TON of steps on the up swing, meaning the zero point was now below the bed. What can I do to prevent this? Please please tell me there's a better solution than preventing the monitor from going into power saving.
