  That is not normal behavior nor does it sound like something simple, like a power problem.· I suggest you call Parallax Tech Support this afternoon or when they reopen after the holiday.
  
  Like all the Stamps, the program is stored directly in an EEPROM and would not need to be reloaded to be able to run again.
  
  Your description of DO / LOOP not working after 3 loops doesn't make sense either.
  
  Make sure your power source works

  Can you attach your code as a .bpx file?· This will help us eliminate any coding issues.

  My code is as follows:
  
  ' {$STAMP BS2px}
  ' {$PBASIC 2.5}
  
  DO
  HIGH 0
  PAUSE 500
  LOW 0
  PAUSE 500
  LOOP
  
  
  When I run this program I get 5v for a moment on my scope, then back to zero.
  When I hit the reset button on my B.O.E. Nothing happens still zero volts.
  Only when I reload the program from the basic stamp editor do I get the 5v fot like 1ms.

  Again, it's either a power supply problem or some kind of weird BS2px failure, perhaps a bad connection on the module. If it were a problem with the EEPROM, you'd not be able to download and run the program at all and you'd probably get an error from the Stamp Editor during download. There could be a problem with the serial cable or, if you're using a USB adapter, the adapter might be bad. It's really impossible to tell without having the BS2px and possibly its board on hand. By the way, what board are you using it with?

  I called tech support.
  
  I appears to be a quirky resonator issue. It works sometimes and sometimes not.
  
  Told me to try·a few things to replicate the issue.
  
  Will play with it as suggested.
  
  Thanks all for your help.
