MSP430FR5739: uC won't power up, stays resettet

Part Number: MSP430FR5739
Other Parts Discussed in Thread: LP2985,

Hello,

i use a LP2985  which regulates 5V to 3,3V.

Cin is 4,7u and Cou 10u, both ceramic.

The problem is, that my MSP430FR5739 does not power up the first time i connect to supply voltage.

If i disconnect and connect again within 10 seconds, the uC powers up.

uC is set to 24MHz.

If i disconnect wait several minutes, and then connect, again, it won't power up.

Interestingly, it works fine, if i use another 12V supply source.

The uC has just a 10k resistor at the reset pin, without cap. It works with 12V, but not with 5V.

So i changed the regulator caps 1uF,4,7u,10u, all combinations.

Didn't work.

Then i tried to Change the RESET pin resistor and add an cap.

Picked diefferent combinations 10k, 150k,1m with 1u,4,7u,10u,100u.

Nothing worked.

Then i changed the Regulator to another, i don't know which one, still didnt work.

So i dont know what to do further.
