i had a simullar problam,but it has nothing to do with volts persay,i was running my board at 1/8 micro drive and 1/4-20 leads so=32000 steps per inch when i speed the motors up they ramp up and stop and start sping on ramp down,tuned out it was to many steps for my p233 to keep up with,unless i slowed it way down,my fix was put them in 1/4 micro stepping and that cut the steps per inch in half and i was able to go full out on my motors,also a pc power supply is a switching/pwm setup and im not sure you can run thows in series due to the frquncy output but ther cheap try it.
