MoodMixzer Part II Troubles

This is the second post about the MoodMixzer. At this point, PWM is working on the small LEDs, and the LED bulb is done. Now that I have attached it, however, problems become apparent. The LED bulb only PWMs correctly when the board is attached to the programmer. I don't understand why this is happening, but it is. I'll attach a schematic of the system. Basically what happens is that the LEDs will PWM correctly for about 1/2 to 3/4 of a cycle (0% - 100% - 0%) and then they will space out, flicker madly, and reset to begin this cycle anew. Any help left as a comment or directed straight to me in irc (#sparkfun on irc.freenode.com) (I'm Stevetronics) Thanks!
