I am using a 5x7 display kit from Talking electronics. I received it few days back and soldered the components onto the PCB, had some problems with the Serial cable, anyways now the main problem which i am not able to figure out is, when I burn the PIC with a program, it executes the program for just
2-3secs and it seems that it resets itself. What could go wrong, the solder, the PIC or what.
The WDT is enabled in the configuration setting. You should have a line in your code that starts __config or you can normally setup the config in your programming software. You can test if the WDT is enabled by inserting a CLRWDT (Clear Watch Dog Timer) instruction in your code - it should be in a loop so it gets cleared often.
