everyt time i go to print it will preheat fine, but right as the print starts instead of homing itself it goes to like some random spot on the print bed and just stops the print.

I flashed new firmware from the creality website but there were only two options and one was for the BL touch (which i dont have) so i chose the other one and im thinking that might be why but i dont know what else to do
