Z axis motors not moving without rods connected

Hi forum,
I just yesterday finished assembling the printer and a few issues arise:
1. X axis (should be left to right movement) is unstable and sometimes gets stuck. - I have checked the belts and the smooth rods leveling I also tried oil but it is still getting stuck and moves unevenly. Anything else you can recommend?
2. (Worst problem) Z axis motors do not move with or without the threaded rods connected. When the motor is without any rods, the motor gitters or vibrates and makes noise but will not move. It will sometimes mowe when moving 1mm, if 10mm it will vibrate.
I also swapped the Z motor with X motor and the motor works fine, seems to be an issue with either the Z ports on the PCB or the power provided by the PCB or system settings. How to get the motors turning? Can the voltage be configured and how?
Thanks for any help.
