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.

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..
