    My first guess would be wires to the wrong coil(s) on the motor or a loose connection. Is it a 6 wire motor?
    Have you done any voltage checks?

    Have you checked the current of your controller? Maybe the motor uses up more current than the power supply provides

    Try reducing the speed. It's loosing all of the steps.
