Asi120mm usb2.0

Hi guys, a quick query for the multitude of ASI/ZWO camera owners out there. I got a second hand small 120MM last year that I use for the occasional moonage and planetary. I haven't used it much but this week-end I did a few hours of imaging. I have a Win7 laptop and I use the latest Fire capture. I have the camera on a USB2 dedicated line straight off the lappy - no hub. On a cropped window I get 55 fps which is good enough. I've had a few drops where the camera is lost. I just unplug it, wait for it to connect again, start the Fire capture and back it goes again. This happened constantly after may be 20 to 30 minutes of use. At this stage I don't know if it's the camera/driver or memory leak in the capture program (I haven't use any other) or other. As I said I have only used it a handful of time. Any pointer in the right direction would be much appreciated. TIA.
