Lightburn stops shortly after start

I recently purchased lightburn after using the trial version. On my very first project, it stoped shortly after start. here is the messages. any help would be appreciated.

Starting stream
Layer C00 Pass 1 of 7
Layer C00 Pass 2 of 7
ALARM:1
Hard limit triggered. Machine position is likely lost due to sudden and immediate halt. Re-homing is highly recommended.
On or near line 277:

It ran into something, looks like. On my machine, due to how the cable was laid, when doing certain movements (usually going from the center towards y0), the cable would hit the limit switch on the y.

That’s hard to argue. Something pushed a switch… or static electricity closed the gap.

This can also happen when the engraver loses its position by accelerating too hard or moving too fast. After the position becomes lost it will throw this error when it happens upon the hard limit.

Is your FoxAlien laser fully Lead-screw driven or do you have belt drives?

My Vostro is ball screw driven.
