Hello,

While waiting for someone from Serato to cihme in, you may already:

Try all USB inputs on the computer (USB 2.0 generally works better than USB 3.0)
Try another USB cable
Plug the hardware *before* launching SDJ
Try 1.6.0 which is more stable for some people.

Best of luck,

Did you do some research on the crash dump, how did you find this info?
