A few more questions:
1) What are the conditions where you lose steps? - IOW - How fast, how deep, what material, just 2D, 3D or both?
2) What version of SB3 are you running? I would update and BE SURE to install fresh firmware with UI command.
3) Your USB cable isn't longer than 10' is it?
4) Using Windows Task Manager - find out what is running in the background. Use MSConfig to modify startup programs.
