That sounds a bit goofy, but I'm not looking at what you're dealing with.

Have you tried a SLOWER oscillator yet, like the R/C, anything, just a signal enough to get it moving?
Heck anything, clicking a push button on/off on the OSC1 pin?

And give these config settings a shot:

OSC "HS" - good

System clock "disabled" - good enough, but I like to leave it enabled so I can play with
changing clock speeds

power up timer "disabled" - I'd enable it, gives the clocks more time to spool up and stabilize, causes fewer errors, especially at higher speeds

brown out reset "enabled" - ok, if you're into that sort of thing

brown out voltage "2.0V" - good

watchdog timer " enabled" - don't need it, so disable it

the rest are good...in my mind anyways...
