/diy/ - Do It Yourself

So I posted in the last thread about this problem

but I still can't really seem to figure it out.

I've tried replacing the P-FETs with N-FETs; no change
I've tried lowering the PWM signal frequency to something as low as 2Hz; no change
I've tried just hooking up the gates straight to 5V DC; no change
I've tried killing the power to the gates entirely; no change

To me, something is shorting out, but for the life of me I can't figure it out.

So I'm trying to get a harddrive motor to spin (3 phase brushless dc motor). I've already distinguished the neutral terminal from the 3 other phase terminals.

Pic related is my circuit to control the motor. I'm using a microcontroller to generate the pwm signal. I wired everything up on a breadboard and put power to it. Motor doesn't move and my external power supply (that is supplying the 10VDC) is showing very high current and low voltage output.

Any ideas what I may be doing wrong here?
