MIDI keyboard cuts off after only a couple minutes.

I recently purchased a few upgrades for my studio. I went from an M-Audio Oxygen 25 with an Mbox Mini interface to an Oxygen 61 with a PreSonus Audiobox (44 VSL). Everything seems to work fine at first, then the audio cuts out and I notice that the keys aren't registering as being played. I can unplug the USB cable and plug it back in and the notes will play again for like a couple minutes, then cut out again. Has anybody else had a similar situation? (I'm doing all of this in Logic X on OSX, btw.)

I had something similar happen recently. Ended up up being the old USB cable I was using, literally worn out. Swapped with a new cable and has worked fine since. The part connecting to the midi keyboard was coming lose, the internal connections on the cable worn out with time.
