Try disconnecting the the battery for about thirty seconds and see if it reboots itself.

It sounds like a bad battery GROUND connection, either on the battery or where it connects to the car from the battery. That would also explain your car dying and needing jump started. Possible Alternator as well???

Good suggestion, but I'd leave the battery disconnected maybe 5 minutes. This just might clear things up.
