Check/replace your Battery.

That was my first thought too. Sounds like a power management issue. 99% of the issues you saw pop up are probably not real....just signs of sickness from a bad battery. Keep your fingers crossed that this is all that it is.

Even though you got the car to crank, that battery can still be the problem.
