Reason for: Printer reset detected - initalizing

Hey everyone,

I am running Repetier 1.5.5 on Win8 with Repetier firmware 0.92 and a rumba board and I quite often get an error during print. The printer stops its movements completely for maybe one second and than continuous as nothing happened. This stop sometimes accurs after a couple of layers, sometimes after 2h and sometimes a complete 6h print is error free.

It seems the freeze is caused by a printer reset:

What could probably cause Printer reset detected - initalizing? What should I look out for?

I think that is the message you would get if you hit the reset button on the rumba board. Just try hitting hit after connection and you should get the same message.

Next would be finding why the reset signal gets triggered. Look out for possible shorts and other cables that could induct wrong signals. It just needs a little spike to trigger reset.
