CDJ-400 random periods shortly interrupts 1-2 sec while playing track

Greetings!

Input data: 2x Pioneer CDJ-400 USB, Pioneer DJM-400 console
, MP3 carriers 2x16 GB flash Kingston DTM30, fs: fat32, num. foldrs: 12


Problem essence: during my set, one of cdj periodically and absolutely randomly begins to interrupt playing a track on several sec., i.e.: each 10-15 sec. the playing track begins inteerupts to stop on 1-2 sec. Itself you understand - on the dance-pole are the party people and on such absolutely ugly pauses reacts instantly - awkwardness and incompetence are a minimum that should be feel at such moments. It is necessary to remove a track from the opposite player, to switch off the afflicted cdj, to wait for seconds 10-15, touching in unflattering mental expressions of all relatives of this revolving object, again to include, again to wait until folders on a flash card are scanned, etc.
But! Even in this case it is impossible to predict - whether will begin most too in 2-3 minutes (as often happened) or in 2-3 hours (as too often happens) (i.e. a CD player overheat is excluded as the reason, in point of: a) too wide spacing of randomny timing of "stupidity" of a revolving object) even "on cold" (at the beginning of work, all equipment just only started "on") - it can be repeat with interrupts)

Question: how to correct a situation with cdj?

Thanks.

If this problem occurs with a USB drive, have you prepared the content with rekordbox or copied it directly?

Have you tried using another make / model USB drive with the CDJs?

I copied it directly, on the other (second cdj-player) with this usb-flash similar problem are not observed. Yes, i try different usb-flash - Transcend 8Gb, Kingston 4 Gb, Silicon Power 16Gb - interrupt still continues. I'd check firmware on the both cdj's - it has last version 1.33 (actual). at one forum I was advised to start play a track and lightly knock on problem's deck - if they start interruption - may be necessary to change the "play" button?..
