Show us your circuit, how you wired up the dickson charge pump?

Sounds like the gharge pump is drawing too much current for the arduino (or pc if usb powered) to handle. You probably need a seperate power supply for the charge pump.

That's still good advice..... Nobody can help if they don't know what you've done. Also post your code.... Edit: Assuming there is code- were you just using the Arduino 5v as your "battery"?
