Continuous interval shooting stops after 7th exposure?

I have a Nikon D5000, and recently I've been using this with my 18-55mm and 50mm 1.4g to take star trail and timelapse photos. I've been using the interval shooting setting in my camera and shooting in RAW.
Last night with my first attempt, I used my 50mm, set to f2.8, ISO 320 with an exposure time of 30 secs. The number of intervals was set to 100, with an interval of 2 seconds between each exposure. When I start the shoot, everything goes fine until about 7 or 8 exposures and then my camera stops taking photos. Although after this shoot, I realised that long exposure noise reduction was set OFF but high ISO noise reduction set to ON.
So my second attempt I decided to use my 18-55mm lens at 18mm, f3.5, 320 ISO, 30 sec exposure time and with the same interval shooting settings except changed the number of intervals to 200 (decided I wanted to take more photos.Am I right in saying that the number of intervals is around the number of shots your camera will take?) I also checked that long exposure noise reduction was off and the same for high iso noise reduction. This time I started the shoot and waited, and it continued to shoot to the 10th exposure so I thought I would leave it and come back a bit later to see if it was still shooting. I came back about 20 minutes later and my camera had once again stopped taking photos. Also I should mention that I did have my camera set to continuous shooting mode. And battery was fine, still had 2 bars after shooting.
Anyone know what could be the problem?

Why can't I change my f stop on my Nikon camera with wide angel lens?

I have a Nikon D50 and I just got a new Nikon Dx AF-S Nikkor 35mm 1:1.8G lens. I'm getting a flashing " f-- " on my control panel and it won't let me change the f stop. Why not? How can I fix this problem?

ps. I've also taken off and put back on the lens but that did nothing.

Tips for shooting a show tonight?

Nikon d3100 and I just got the 35mm lens. The show will be a metal show in a small space, I'm assuming not well lit (but who knows it might be, the place is a deli during the day). Tips for capturing all the best moments? Is the 35mm the best lens to bring or should I bring my 18-55 kit lens? I know if I use auto all night I won't get the results I want, and I also want to use flash as little as possible. And I don't have a tripod.

Which should I choose?

I'm debating over getting a Nikon D3100 or Nikon D5100.
Both have similar functions although the 5100 has a higher resolution and the 3100 shoots video, even though this doesn't matter. What is your opinion on which you would choose and why?

What camera should I purchase?

I'm traveling to India next month and I'm looking for a camera to take great pictures with. I should mention I'm a beginner and am on a budget. Since everything we will be doing involves biological work, I want to capture wildlife and other things outdoors. I do however want the camera for personal use as well when I get home. So far I have been looking at the Canon Rebel T3 and Nikon D3100.Im leaning towards the Nikon right now. Is there any other cameras I should be looking at? And if not, which one would you recommend? Also what is the thought on used cameras?
