I have finally configured Mach4 and am starting to run parts. The other day i ran for a couple hours and the lathe just stopped. I looked over and the monitor was black and then went no video signal as if the computer just shut off. I rebooted and got maybe another 15 minutes and it crashed again.
I changed out the video card from a 4 gig to a 2 gig nvidia card and today I ran about 3 hours and crashed again. This time the computer recovered beck to the first screen in windows 10. I then rebooted for good measure and ran 2 more hours with no trouble and finished the job.
Anybody else having any trouble with unexpected reboots? I have checked to be sure the computer isnt going into sleep mode and no power saving stuff is turned on. Is there any known issues with my hardware that mach4 wont play well with my drivers? Too many network cards?
New computer (only a few months old)
nvidia G force GT1030 video card (2 gig memory)
3 network adapters. One Ethernet, One for lathe, One for future mill.
