Errors at random times (and how to find help with hardware)

What screw are you talking about. 
If you look at the picture there is a label "V+ ADJ"... and under that label there is a green LED light and a plastic potentiometer screw. So I played with this yesterday. This is on the CNC board, not in the PC.

All 24V power supplies i use can go from 18.2V to 27.8V, still within range of everything attached to it.
This is somewhat comforting. I'll do the things both of you said about the PC power adapter and the 5i25 card and will report here if anything changes. 


bevings, thank you so much for offering the help. I'll send you a message to discuss this option.


What Tommy said. The range of that pot [probably wont go high or low enough to do anything. Just stick a meter on it and adjust it to 12 or 24vdc . Whatever it is suppose to be.

Hi

Thank you all for all the advice and patience when repeating frew things multiple times.

I think it worked. 

I removed the Mesa 5i25 card and cleaned with an alcohol wipe. 
This seemed to have improved it a little as it ran for 5-6 minutes. Previously it would throw the errors after a minute I think... sometimes even less.
But as I just started getting happy, it threw the errors again. 

So then I replaced the power supply, this time the proper power supply of the PC box, and this seems to have fixed it. 
It ran for 25 min or so without the errors. I guess it will have to run for a few hours without throwing them, but 25 min is pretty comforting so I think it's fixed. 

Thanks a lot. This was amazing!

 

Thank you! I'll check these. I have not done anything on the PC myself, but will check if these have been disabled.
