Plasma Cam Problems

Jeremy Wright from Nor Cal -

I recently purchased a Plasma Cam cutting table and a Hypertherm Powermax 600 and I cannot get the plasma cam to work consistently. I have spent quite a bit of money and at least two weeks trying to trouble shoot and all I get from plasma cam is that I have a grounding issue. It has blown three fuses in the control box and one mother board on my computer. I have tested, grounded (5/8"x8' ground rod), even sent in my controller overnight and tried two other computers and I get the same problem. When I get into the diagnostic settings and push check L.E.D.'s it will sometimes make the gantry motor move up to two feet. That is usually when it blows a fuse but only 1/10 times. Also some light on the controller are on when that function is not being used. Any help at all would be very much appreciated I am very Frustrated.
