Usually PHD flashes red, beeps and reports lost star and stops guiding although sometimes it seems to try to guide on something spurious until the camera gets back in sync and the guide star goes back to its proper position. If I stop PHD looping as soon as it loses the star and then immediately start looping again, the guide star returns to its normal position and I can continue guiding, usually without any blur in the sub. I must admit, I don't usually get crazy correction attempts like the one I posted but I usually catch it early.
You are lucky if yours is working well. Are you using Windows7 or a Mac? https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/5...-and-asi120mc/

I’m on windows 10.
Definitely sounds like a mechanical issue to me, not camera
