A number of members are currently having issues with updates and Win7 / Win10 so my advice would be to stick with WinXP.
The only way you could use Win10 would be with an external motion controller (the usb/pp adapter's don't work).

Make a backup copy of your Mach3 folder.
Download and re-install Mach3   http://www.machsupport.com/software/downloads-updates/

(If that does not resolve the problem then, as you suspect, it may be time to replace your PC).

Anyone have any more ideas? I can't keep throwing money at a problem.

I don't know if this is any help but...
For Mach3 I use WinXP and my CNC machines are operated by dedicated PC's which are not connected to the internet or receiving updates.

Warp9 have now added the ability to laser reproduce (raster) 8 bit photographic images using their ESS and the v221 release Mach4 plugin. It is still very much in the beta stage and does not have a GUI but an excellent and detailed ‘setting-up’ tutorial has been prepared which should get any potential users up and running in no time. It equally supports vector laser work and is suitable for use with Diode, RF and DC excited CO2 lasers.

I have not had a chance to try it out yet but for those who may wish to do so, the full documentation and further details can be found here;  https://warp9td.com/index.php/faq/faq-mach4#LaserSetup

I would suspect that the problem is mechanical, maybe a loose coupling ?

Check that you are not loosing steps - does the machine return eaxctly to the zero position after it has finished making the oval pockets ?
