I know nothing, but wonder if your espboard issues USB control instructions to draw appropriate current level from your PC port?
If not, or your PC limits USB current significantly, you may well have issues....

Or you could be using a crappy USB cable. Try a 2A USB charger with a short fat lead.

My advice in these situations is to always start with a we mos or nodemcu board for development, and afterwards move to standalone chip if desired. Like this you can separate any hardware issues and firmware.

Power supply from PC usb was the problem. Once i added an external power source to my nodemcu all the problems went away
