Comms/FMS Problems

Our team was having a comms problem recently at the Pittsburgh regional.
Info:
Labview
CAN Jaguars
Driverstation pc runs in windows 7

During one of our practice matches, autonomous was functioning fine. However, right when we started teleop we then lost comms to the cRIO but still had the camera feed.

In the pit we found out that if we deployed code, and ran code, the robot would drop comms right after given a command. If we stuck code, power cycled, and then ran the code without deploying, the robot operated fine. However, we did not and will have a chance to test if the code will work with FMS before our qualifying matches.

Obviously, we are concerned that this will affect our qualifying performance, so it would be great if anyone had a theory on whats going on?
