I think u have a connections problem
Z and Z’ motors move together when the printer is powered because of current induction.
check the picture:
Double check the motor ports are all correct (Where they plug into the board) And let me know how it goes. :’)

Did you install smoothers on your motors? I had the same issues and found the supplied wiring with the smoothers were reversing the signal.

It’s a very small board that you purchase separately and install between the motor and main board that are meant to "smooth"the signal before it reaches the motor. Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/182519159031
The motor under your bed is the Y motor. Your Z motors are the ones on the right and left of the bed that have the spiral rods attached to them. Your X motor is the one that moves up and down the left Z axis. Your extruder is the E motor.
Make sure these are plugged into the right spots on your board, then try again.
This looks like a wrong wiring or a wrong software config.
Double check all connections or better disconnect all and do the wiring again. Also try the latest Skynet3D release
