Macros stop working in raids

I've been having a major problem during most LFR's and Normal raids during boss fights where my macros will lock up at seemingly random times until I can do a /reloadui
Where can I look to see the error? or fix it. I'm using 2.0.14 release

Is it a particular macro or all macros? Eg do you have another macro for that class and or a global one and does it work while your main macros fail? If this is the case it may be faults with the macros themselves. This is very possible if you are using castsequence lines where you don't have enough resources to cast the next spell in the castsequence. If this is not the case you will be getting a Lua error and unless you have other mods that suppress this will popup on the screen in the middle of combat. TimothyLuke

It seems to lock up one macro at a time but, will lock anything and everything up given enough time.
I'm still not sure what causes it, it locks up macro even with no /castsequence in them.

You have a corrupt macro and it's causing your other macros to fail. The most common causes of this are trying to import a GSE1 macro that is not well written or trying to force a GSE1 macro into the mods code. The problem and the fix are documented here https://wowlazymacros.com/forums/topic/one-cause-of-inability-to-open-options-and-table-expected-got-string-errors-gse2/ TimothyLuke
