ESP32-Cam always resetting to download mode

Here's an improved version of the forum post:
Problem Description:
I'm experiencing a persistent reset issue with my ESP32-Cam that seems to be actively resisting my programming attempts. Out of approximately 80-100 reset tries, the device has only successfully booted twice - which is far from acceptable performance.
Technical Details:
- Device consistently enters download mode instead of running the program
- SD card has been removed to eliminate potential complications
- Identical camera module in my setup works perfectly fine
Troubleshooting Steps Already Attempted:
- Carefully reconnected the camera module
- Pressed IO0 button during reset process (with no positive effect)
- Verified basic connections and setup
Would appreciate any insights into diagnosing and resolving this stubborn reset problem. My patience is wearing thin
