    1. Try adding 1.0uF caps to the input and output of the 5V regulator as well.
    2. I would make sure the 4.7K pullup on the MCLR line has a solid connection. A MCLR left floating would also cause intermittent resets.
    3. Or just disable the MCLR function (MCLR_OFF, if I remember correctly) just to be sure some unseen noise spikes are not triggering the uC reset.

    Try 47ohm resistor between PWM pins and mosfet gate

    BOTH Vdd and BOTH Vss NEED to be connected.

    It's not a bug, it's a random feature.
    There's no problem, only learning opportunities.

    BOTH Vdd and Vss? Wow, that's new - I'm surprised my other projects worked at all..

    Will start with that and the MCLR and see how it goes.

    Thank you all.

    Working perfectly!

    Changes made,
    MCLR OFF
    47ohms resistors to MOSFET's
    both Vdd and Vss's connected

    Have not added the cap's due to space constraints - but will do that if it plays up again.

    Thank you all again.
    Orjon.

    I thought so but was not sure enough to mention it, thanks Steve.
