#61129 Hi!

I'm programming a ESP-01 1M module via the Arduino IDE (1.6.12 and esp8266 2.3.0) with default settings of the Generic ESP8622 Module and selected as flash size 1M (512K SPIFFS).
After about 6 times uploading a sketch the chip crashes and now each time if I execute a program, also after reflashing it (flashing still seems to work), I get a continues output on the serial monitor like this:

This is my second ESP-01 module because the first one had the same problem after a while; I guess I'm doing something wrong..??

To flash the module I'm using a CP2102 based USB to TTL converter which has a RTS and DTR connection:

Can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong or what the problem is?
Can I fix (the memory of) my ESP modules?

Thank you in advance!!
