gecko burned again

Well, the y axis gecko drive burned again this morning. This time
there are no loose wires. I was doing very little with the machine
and had just turned it on when during a y axis G0 move, the drive
burned up. I assume this is an indication that the Gecko cannot
handle the motor I am using. This is an old topic and I have asked
for help with this problem before. The mill is a Bridgeport Series
1 CNC originally controlled by Boss 6 but now using Anaheim Nema 42
high torque stepper motors and Mach2 software with a Campbell
breakout board.

At this point is seems reasonable to try another brand drive?

Thanks
