I have had similar problems when building other circuits. What I did: went
on to something else. And you know, it worked! I left my bicore photovore
and salvage all the parts, and then built it into a bicore head and it's now
working perfectly. All I need is a base and I'll be happy =)
Maybe you should go on to something else for a while, and then come back and
re-build it. Don't let yourself get headaches over it.
Signing off,

making crop circles and fire high-speed explosive shells at you. Take care!
