You're not trying to spin the motor too fast, are you? Are you commanding the move from the LCD, or from host software?
I will try switching the stepper drivers and see what that does. I have not adjusted anything other than the eSTEPS... I'm using stock Marlin 1.0.2 as per the build instructions. For testing, I am commanding it using Pronterface although the problem was there when I was trying to print a test cube from an SD card as well (that was before I installed Pronterface). I do not know how to control the extruder from the LCD.
