Sounds like a classic problem of the backup battery being too low - we've seen issues just like this that have been solved by replacing with a FRESH battery. Obviously if your CMUCam2 is able to talk to LabVIEW then you don't have a traditional "communication problem", but your battery doesn't seem to have enough juice to sustain the communications (or there's an intermediate short, very likely with PWM cables from IFI - several our PWM cables were bad). If you do something in-between grabbing frames, it would appear to me that would give the battery a [small] chance to recover.
