Jul 24, 2018 at 12:00 comment added CrossRoads By arc, you mean you are seeing sparks? That's not good at all. Is your 5v line ok?
Jul 24, 2018 at 6:58 comment added noobiejp Also, before, I'd ordered Atmega328PB instead of Atmega328P. I'm getting an error on device signature then. I've done some modifications based on different forums and was successful on burning a bootloader and uploading a sketch. Now, I've got the correct Atmega328P, installed on the same layout and I'm having this problem.

Now that you've mentioned it, I'm seeing a small arc (spark) on the AREF pin. What I've done is I'd lifted the pin out to disconnect it from AVCC and VCC, and soldered a 100nF cap to GND. What it did however is create a larger arc on the pin.
