Inconsistent download and noisy sertxd

I am working on a 08M, very basic with two LEDs and 1 and 2 and Piezo on 4. I get an error on download many times but usually if I keep at it it will download successfully. Sertxd is printing on the terminal what I expect, so I know that baud, etc is okay, but a lot of garbage characters get printed as well. The error message on download said it could be an unclean power supply. Could that account for both problems? i.e 1.) the download and 2.) garbage on the terminal?

I'm new at this, but I have built 3 or 4 other picaxe circuits, but never had this problem before. Thanks in advance for your help and suggestions.
