I had something similar with the car not starting. It just didnt freak out before hand and I was only going like 20. I didnt have any electronics or nething when it went out and it turned out that a cable off of the battery had come off. You might want to check and make sure all the stuff that goes to the battery is still connected.

Rev limiter caused a cpu malfunction??

checked it out today........the fuse in the engine compartment for the alternator was gone but it wasn't a fuse it was just a wire running from one side to the other..

Check your battery terminals for corrosion. including the small wire that feeds power to the ignition system on the positive terminal.

Check all your ground wires.

Have your battery load tested and see if it's dieing.

Take your alternator in and have it bench tested at any parts house to verify it functions normally.

Go from there.
