First, are you using servo motors or steppers? How are you driving them? How do other axes cause chatter in which stepper/servo?
All steppers except the bed auto level micro servo. All steppers are driven by the pololu drivers on the ramps board. It is the bed auto-level servo that chatters, and I dont know why.

Are you saying when the Z axis motors are disconnected and you tell the thing to jog the Z axis the board still resets?
Yes. Changing out the pololu sheild has no effect either.
I only have 1 extra driver, i replaced the Z and swapped the order of the rest, they had no change at all, still they all cause a bit of chatter, but wont reset or freeze the machine, with the exception of the Z.Quote

It sounds like the motor wire broke while the machine was operating. That is the same as disconnecting the motor while the machine is operating which will usually destroy the stepper driver module. Try replacing the module(s).

Draw a diagram that shows the wiring between the controller board, power supplies, and motors, take a picture of it and post it here.
i didn't draw in any sensors, but they are are where they belong =)
