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

    'The Easiest solution and use another PIC' reply always drive me nuts when the user don't need to and have a nice 'learning opportunitie' on hand... i know i may have badly interpret it anyways... Need to sleep... sorry

    Good news, you are right! Assuming the Fail-Safe clock monitor AND the int-ext-switchover mode are both enable, at POR, the internal OSC run @ 4MHz.... hence why it always work without noticeable bugs.

    Ah, thanks to Joe S. for the info. I have verified this by using a 4.91 Mhz crystal, far enough out to show errors in frequency counting.
    Pulling the crystal had the PIC instantly switch to it's internal RC source. THANKS!
