Hi
Like many people I am some-what new to the world of CNC. I build my machine form parts out of the salvage yard and E-Bay, I have been doing good, getting great results in 2D. I had a problem with my CPU, the power supply went out and took out the mother board or the other way around. We replaced the supply and mother board, Since then I can not get the driver to work. ( the mother board is a 2G board not new ) all the programs work with no problem and the parallel port prints to a printer. I have connected a second CPU to the system and it works with no problem ( I know the driver board, motors, and the driver power supply are working). I have tried the SpecialDriver.bat, no help. When I run the driver test the system will lock up in 2-3 seconds after it starts and I have to reboot. The motors did respond correctly 1 or 2 times when first starting them started to make strange noises and the motors just about move.

Ps: I think the mother board is the problem but would like your input
