I replaced the PC and ran an air part. I noticed that the screen blanked near slot 19, but the I got the screen back with the mouse and the part completed with out interruption. I disabled the screen saver and ran two more air parts which completed properly. I set up the real part, and it stopped at the same spot in slot 19 as before. I jogged out of the hole, disabled radius compensation with g40, then did g28 and the spindle headed back for the hole. I have no idea how to troubleshoot this. I didn't see anything in dmesg. Anyone have any ideas? Oh this time I used EMC2 2.3.1 on 8.04.
