IF your motor has an intermittent short, this could be tripping the driver.
Note: If you do not cool the driver chips (eg: heatsink and/or fan), they will overheat if they're driving stepper motors that require any reasonable amount of current. As such, it's advisable to make sure the stepper drivers have a fan pointing at them at all times, and heatsinks stuck to each driver chip if at all possible.
