PIC32MX795F512L is not working on my board even though it is getting programed

Hi all,

I am trying to program PIC32MX795F512L [url]www.kynix.com/.../PIC32MX795F512L-80V/PT.html[/url]on by own board using PICKIT3. The schematic of the board is attached.

I am getting the following error when I select the programmer.

PICkit 3 detected
Connecting to PICkit 3...
Running self test...
Self test passed
Firmware Suite Version...... 01.25.10
Firmware type......................PIC32MX
PICkit 3 Connected.
Target Detected
Target Device ID (0000e000) does not match expected Device ID (04307053).

I can see that the PIC is sending out some non-zero bits through oscilloscope on the PGD2 pin, and it is consistent over runs. Still MPLAB is giving the above all zero id error.

Also, if I program in release mode, I am getting success as mentioned below........ but the pic is not operational. I have tried in two separate boards but with no luck.
Programming...Programming/Verify complete

My configuration bits are as follows

#ifndef OVERRIDE_CONFIG_BITS
#pragma config UPLLEN = ON // USB PLL Enabled
#pragma config FPLLMUL = MUL_20 // PLL Multiplier
#pragma config UPLLIDIV = DIV_2 // USB PLL Input Divider
#pragma config FPLLIDIV = DIV_2 // PLL Input Divider
#pragma config FPLLODIV = DIV_1 // PLL Output Divider
#pragma config FPBDIV = DIV_1 // Peripheral Clock divisor
#pragma config FWDTEN = OFF // Watchdog Timer
#pragma config WDTPS = PS1 // Watchdog Timer Postscale
#pragma config FCKSM = CSDCMD // Clock Switching & Fail Safe Clock Monitor
#pragma config OSCIOFNC = OFF // CLKO Enable
#pragma config POSCMOD = HS // Primary Oscillator
#pragma config IESO = OFF // Internal/External Switch-over
#pragma config FSOSCEN = OFF // Secondary Oscillator Enable
#pragma config FNOSC = PRIPLL // Oscillator Selection
#pragma config CP = OFF // Code Protect
#pragma config BWP = OFF // Boot Flash Write Protect
#pragma config PWP = OFF // Program Flash Write Protect
#pragma config ICESEL = ICS_PGx2 // ICE/ICD Comm Channel Select
#pragma config DEBUG = OFF // Debugger Disabled for Starter Kit
#endif // OVERRIDE_CONFIG_BITS

Another observation:
When I check OSC2 pin through oscilloscope, I see an oscillation@7MHz instead of 8MHz. Any idea on why the frequency is decreased will be of great help. I have attached a snapshot of the board too for your reference.
Hope to get some light from the masters...
Thanks in advance
