Put that PCI Card to your host where your stepper was working
properly to see if it's a hardware issue with that card.

Then it depends on how you control your stepper motor. If you use
some bit-banging (which I wouldn't recommend) to drive each winding
and want to have smooth movement, you need a very precise timing
when it comes to some "more than low-speed" stepper motors,
otherwise your motors will start to coggle.
To be precise: you will first have to figure out what leads to
the effect of "it's not stable". Do you have an Oscilloscope?
