I'm betting you are using mechical endstops.
Mechanical endstops use only two wires/pins (negative and signal), optical and hall endstops require power, which means a third wire/pin (positive).
If you use the positive and negative pair of pins with a mechanical endstop, you send voltage back into the board triggering a reset. I did the same my first time.

Here is an image showing the proper way to wire them.

Also, be sure to wire them normally closed. Ramps are known to be noisy and if wired normally open have been known to trigger false endstop triggering, which confuses the heck out of the system and ruins your print.

Also, you cannot move your stepper motors with your fingers. They are 'always on' when the machine is powered. This is so they don't lose position. This is normal.

Not to be wining or anything, but I don't really feel motivated helping people if they don't make a clear title in their topic. If you make up a fitting title, and check spelling in your opening post, there might be a lot more people willing to help smiling smiley Just a tip!

Your endstops are not wired correctly. Failure to fix them immediately will result in blowing up your Megatronics board from the short circuit that you are creating.

At this point, I am going to do something cold and declare that I will not be answering any more of your questions until I see evidence that you have learned to use the search feature on this site. Every question that you have asked so far has been discussed ad nauseum in other threads on this site since February, and it is unfair to ask people to spend their time helping you when I have not seen one hint that you have used the search feature to try and help yourself.....
