Hi, Newbee
Just open your PIC datasheet @ the OSC section, and you will discover the reset pin need a fast rising signal to act correctly ...
you also will find correct circuitry to pass by your supply lazyness ...
in other words, your supply is a bit slow when giving power, and the reset pin must be kept low till the supply voltage is established ...
that's why power supervisors like MC33064P / TC54 VN xx have been created.

Why insist on using 32 Bits when you're not even able to deal with the first 8 ones ??? ehhhhhh ...

IF there is the word "Problem" in your question ...
certainly the answer is " RTFM " or " RTFDataSheet " !!!

Acetronics thanks, I tried both things grounding the MCLRE pin while powering it up with battery instead of adopter supply. It didn't work, so I think the chip must be faulty. Whether on external oscillator or internal its behavior doesn't change.
(From post 4) .....I had even tried to power it with 9 V battery cellsWhat did you expect after the 9 volts test ?(From post 9)....so I think the chip must be faulty. Whether on external oscillator or internal its behavior doesn't change.
