Simply means your USB hub(s) in your computer is resetting. The USB bus can only supply X amount of power before it simply starts randomly resetting.
Either get a powered (its own external power supply) external USB hub, or try moving the USB devices around to different ports. Most computer actually have two USB hubs in them. Figuring which external ports are attached to which hub is the challenge.
The game has no control over this, regardless of which the version/patch.
