Loss of dmx

I'm currently running a show using the Hog3pc system (1 PC, 1 widget, 1 playbackwing and 1 progwing).

During the last show I ran into a very confusing problem. Suddenly all conventionel lights drops to zero (for about ½sec). Having no clue why? After a few minutes this happens again, although this time I spoted the widget during the blackout, and I saw that the two diods active and dmx OK were out but they came back as the lights went up again (I truly suspect a connection between the diods and the blackout:p )

Hence the link doid all the time indicated connection between the widget and my comuter (the widget is directly plugged in my computer) I'm clueless whats the fuzz is about! :1zhelp:

    Thanks both Kris and Marty

    I'm runningthe Hog3, I belive my cables are good and the widget link diod indicated a connection all the time. And yes, every other application on my pc is turned off. I've ran hog2 on this pc for four years, but this was the first larger show with the hog3 on this computer, but I'v done all the programming on this pc and we were on the 20'th gig of the show when this problem occured.
    Unfortunately (or good) we had only 21 gigs to do and the problem nerver showed on the final gig, so I never got a chance to investigate the mysterious dissappearing of the dmx further...
