Prints Stopping

I am having trouble and I've been messing within slic3r to try to fix my Orion from stopping in the middle of prints. It seems to be happening more often now. At first I was having trouble only with longer prints(overnight 8hrs+, under 24hrs). Now, I'm having trouble within the first 4 hours of printing. I can't get anything done without having to print the rest and glueing the parts together. I would really like to find a solution. I've checked out some of the rostock forums here and some seem to be having a similar problem without finding an answer. Just seeing if anyone here has had this issue and conquered it. It really is a nuisance. I saw someone posted an updated firmware here, but I don't know if that solved the issues.
Thanks everyone

Do you print from the SD card or the PC?
If PC, have you tried printing from the SD card with no PC connected?

I've been printing only with the SD card, but I'll try one of the same files using my computer. I'll try that tonight.

Silentdoom,
Also, check the post about the new firmware release, it's easy to upgrade, i made a video too. It takes care of any of the buffering issues we've seen here anyways

If you are using the SD card that came with the LCD, there have been reports of problems with these cards.
You should upgrade the card to a class 5 or faster.

i tried a new card and still the print will stop and the message is Steeper Motor Disabled
i thought that the PSU or the board was heating so i moved the printer to a colder room and nothing changed
