massive usb drop outs and serato crashing

posted this in the help section but you guys always help as well

I was at a gig tonight. I had massive usb dropouts all night and finally i pushed b6 group on my mixer for effect and it froze and crashed and serato crashed immediately. I had to switch to my iphone in the aux and then another computer

this has never happened before and was only after 4 or 5 songs so early in the gig

I keep some music on an external 2 tb fire wire drive and some on my internal. Latency is set to 1. It has never happened before and was an embarassment at the gig worked fine with a different computer w no music on internal so im wondering what people think the problem is and what to do about it? maybe try new usb cord?
