When it hits the X endstop, is the nozzle at the left edge of the bed ?
When it hits the Y endstop, is the nozzle at the front edge of the bed ?
In the marlin config.h there are #Defines that set the size of the bed and the origin point, maybe they are incoorrect.

In the slicer printer settings you have a Z offset=1.4 mm, this will add 1.4 mm to the nozzle height when you print, however if your nozzle is 3 mm above the bed after homing and sending a G1 Z0 then either
your Z endstop needs adjusting or you have a Z offset in the firmware somwhere

This line should not be enabled with your display type
#define DOGLCD // Full graphics display
you just need this one as it is
#define REPRAP_DISCOUNT_FULL_GRAPHIC_SMART_CONTROLLER

If you send a G1 Z0 command, does the nozzle go to Z0 or is it 1.4mm too high.
If it does go to Z0 then look for a Z offset in the slicer

If not Z-wobble, this can also be caused by the bed flexing while trying to hold temp.
especially if you use bang bang heat control

Ok, are there any other errors reported just before the "killed printer", normally it should indicate why you get that error. maybe in a log file.

Make sure you save the settings and are selecting the correct settings file in the preview options.

Do you have both the heated bed AND nozzle thermistors connected and in the correct sockets ?

What is the new bed material, and what type of probe are you using ?
Glass vs glass... just a different sheet. Using capacitive sensor.
Are capacitive proximetry sensors accurate enough with glass ?
Is it possible the capacitive sensor is actually getting reflections off your alluminium bed.

As a safety precaution, the extruder will only move if the temp is high enough to melt the plastic, ie about 160C.
You can over ride this by sending a M302 allow cold extrusion to the printer

One likely culprit is a shorted stepper driver,remove them all and try powering up again, maybe check the shield for any burnt copper tracks first.

Sry,cant see whats causing the noise but i suspect it is still doing it at higher lvls, just that the print speed on the 1st lvl is a lot slower so maybe more noticable.

Cura 3.1 has options where you can specify a X Y location for the Z seam or select sharpest corner as well as the normal options
not sure about slic3r tho .

Edit the printer end code.
So,in cura 3.1 click preferences/configure cura/printers/machine settings
I have this in my end code
M104 S0 ; turn off extruder
M140 S0 ; turn off heatbed
M107 ; turn off fan
G1 X0 Y210; home X axis and push Y forward
M84 ; disable motors

start arduino
goto file/examples/eeprom/eeprom_clear
click the upload button (->)
that will clear all data from the eeprom
now upload your firmware.
hope it works

You may have corrupted the eeprom, Run the 'clear eeprom ' sketch in the arduino tools, then re flash the firmware.

Z will not go down until it has been homed.
The weird noises from the Z axis might be the setting in the config that sets Z max speed being too high (known problem with marlin)

If you selected MKS gen 1.3 board in the config.h then it uses the same input pins as the ramps.h.
I would guess you have a short circuit on the 2 analogue pins 13,14 of the processor,look for blobs of solder ,failing that, ask for a replacment board

In the slicers end code you could put a G1 move to the rear left of the bed
G1 X0 Y200
or
G91 ;relative mode
G1 Z5 ;raise Z above print
G90 ;absolute mode
G1 X0 Y200 ;move extruder to rear left

If your worried about the soldering, you can fit the extruder fan on the 12 volt input screw terminals marked as electronics fan, thats where i put mine( and i am an expert at soldering, just easier )

This could be a case of over extruding,have you calibrated the extruder ?

Where is the Y end stop mounted?
If it is at the front of the printer then it is a Y max endstop, if at the back of the printer, it is a Y min endstop, firmware has to be configures accordingly.
Also, what Trakyan said above.

The object has been created with only a single perimeter thickness, slic3r has problems slicing this type of stl,
CURA 3.1 sliced it ok

Quoteo_lampe
The reason is overextrusion from wrong layer-width setting. You can adjust the 1st. layer separately. Default in slic3r is 200%. I reduced it to 180% or even 100% on some of my printers to make it stick.
i agree with o_lamp here, i had exactly the same problem in my early days of printing, tell tale sign is you can see the nozzle rubbing against the previous perimeters as it prints

check in the printer settings tab-custom gcode, maybe you have a M106 command in there

Why the different values for X and Y steps/mm.
What micro stepping are your motor drivers set to ?

One other thingcomes to mind, have you calibrated the extruders steps/mm.
So if you extrude 100mm, does it actually take in 100mm of filament?
At least you are making headway and getting some prints
by

Printing
the bottom picture shows a filament diameter of 3 mm, is this what you are using ? most fillaments are 1.75mm. these days.
From the video, i see no filament being extruded during the print, this could be the above menssioned setting or nozzle being too close to the bed,restricting the flow.
Also i would set the 1st layer temperature a bit higher(210-220) to help 1st layer bed adhesion.
