#15415 I have tried every solution mentioned above, even RST to VCC, but the wire still picks up noise and the ESP resets. If I hook up my oscilloscope with a high impedance probe, i can see the spikes on the RST line. After pulling the RST pin from the header, which was connected to a switch on the main board, it got a little better so i decided to cut the wire near the chip and put a 100nF cap. to GND. Did you try touching the RST line with a screwdriver, i'm almost sure yours will reset too. This solution works fine for me because I flash the ESP on a test board.
