Kirk, Can you place a cooling fan or use a can of air on your controller at about the time it is going to die ? Mainly on the chips responsible for communicating with the PC. I have seen something like this on a industrial automated sewing machine. And it ended up being a chip that communicated to and from the main processor and the board that controlled the stepper driver boards. It would work fine until the temp in the plant reached 80 degrees and it would start acting strange. It took us almost a year to find exactly what was wrong. And that was completely by accident. It's a long story and I won't go into it here but I thought it might be something to look at. Just my $.02, and hope it helps. LennyWayne
