Problem with ProMicro and power

First time build with a lot of questions. One issue I'm facing now is with the ProMicro causing some sort of issue with my GearBest PowerBoost. I finally got the ProMicro programmed right, but now when it is plugged in the system will randomly shut of after a few minutes and won't switch back on. Even after I unplug the ProMicro the system won't switch on. The only way to get it to come back on is plugging in the micro USB charger and switching the system on. Not sure what the problem is.

Looks like a power supply issue. You may a problem with your battery or the powerboost. Does it work fine with the pro micro plugged in if you plug in the microusb power adapter? Which battery are you using?

So, oddly enough, my PowerBoost just died. It isn't working properly at all at this point. So, I bit the bullet and spent a little extra on the Adafruit Powerboost 1000. Hopefully this solves my problems. I'll post again once I get it running.
