Were your cameras powered on battery or on AC? Make sure they are on AC when capturing. Batteries with too many charging cycles on them or closer to the end of their operating lives normally can't sustain the level of the required voltage while being drained by high-powered devices like lights, firewire capture etc.

Check if your capture disk runs at 7,200 rpm. Or try reinstalling the application.
