The stepper motor windings measure only 1.1ohm, there are no markings to identify the motors so I'm unsure if the motors can handle a higher current.

I would not worry about the steppers as they will be happy to at least 50C in other words if you can still keep your hands on them they are fine.

I thought to eliminate the PC just in case from a Dell motherboard to an Asus motherboard. This was due to a diagnostic within Mach3 that tests the pulse frequency in the PC. Mach3 said this pulse frequency was too high and whatever I did with settings didn't seem to change it. The change in motherboard - problems have disappeared! I'm running some g-code but have yet to set up the motors properly. Things are looking positive at the moment.....
