Which mount are you using? The SyncScan mounts will need ASCOM platform on the laptop your using for the camera. The camera came with ASCOM drivers did it not? That camera also has a dedicated ST4 port and I take it you will drive the mount off that port and not via a USB connection to the laptop.
Make sure you have the latest version of PHD2 (which is 2.3.0 I think), it adds some features and fixes some bugs in the earlier release.
I tried to use PHD2 for two months, it was generally ok, but I had continuing problems with unexplained guiding drop outs, which buggered up a few imaging runs. There was never any error messages either. However, I was using it with a high frame rate video camera (ZWO ASI130) and it has problems with those cameras. I switched over to Metaguide and never have a problem now.
