Hello everyone, 
I am using mesa board 7I76E to control 5 axis cnc with servo motors 
I installed the linuxcnc on a laptop when i run linuxcnc with the mesa board on the laptop everything works well i got some wired interference like loosing Ethernet communication with the board or the mouse pad will be crashed all the time but i was ignore them because they didn't really influence on my project.
After that i installed the same version of linuxcnc on a desktop computer in fact i used the same ssd so it was the same software, the same configuration at this moment the noise issue became more than usually now i lost the communication every 5 min around ana that's a big problem. Do you have an idea what is the exact issues happened to me , how could i decrease those noise 
Thanks in advance

Not a lot of info to go on.
If your PC uses a realtek NIC I would search the forums for what to do. That would be a good starting point.

Next thing would be to ensure no "noisy" wires are crossing signal wires.

Next thing would be to ensure that the PSU that are powering the Mesa baord are giving a clean voltage. A good quality PSU, such as Meanwell or Weidmuller are good choices. Ensure the servo drivers are wired according to the manuals, don't skip the recommendations fro any filtering, not a cheap exercise, but well worth worth it.

Keep power wiring away from signal wiring. Don't expect a "rat's nest" to operate trouble free.

Don't wire every at once, wire one section at a time and test, trouble shoot and fix as you go. If something stops performing as it should it makes trouble shooting easier as you can start at the last addition you made.

Where ever possible terminate the ends of bare wires with "bootlace ferrules" makes inserting wiring into screw connectors easier and prevents start strands of wires floating in the breeze.

If you have implemented all these measures and have "noise" issues you will need to provide far more information. PCW may chime in and ask for you to do some "ping tests" and such, as this is his domain I shall leave it to him to guide you through that part.

Is everything on the machine and the PC grounded?
Is that grounding good? This is very hard to figure out, but give it a try.
