General Mach Discussion / Re: New pc not working

I think Mach3 defaults to 25kHz as a base computer frequency and this suits most installations.
You ran a machine with a F setting (even though you didn't know it): it would not run without it! It tells the machine the Feed rate or how many units per time for all movements.
I run my machines with (typically) 700 mm/min, depending on what I'm cutting. Moving a cutter down onto a job, the rate would be 200 mm/min, for example.
Your machine knew what feed rate has been applied for it to move any axis: it didn't run for 10 years without it.
There are many parameters and settings in Mach3 that must be applied for the machine to run correctly. When your computer crashed, the settings may or may not be retrievable.
Or, you go through the process and set the machine up again. From your statements and questions, I am thinking this could be a new area for you.
If the machine has not been calibrated or setup in the first place, there will be unpredictable results. Fortunately, in this case, the machine is not moving.
Yes, your program ran for years without a problem - that was with the machine and software aligned correctly. But that has changed with a new install of Mach3.
Have a look at their website for setting up a machine with settings for Ports and Pins, Motor Tuning, General Parameters, etc. They walk you through it.
