You might need a new battery. Batteries that worn low or "worn down" can do weird things.

I'm not an expert, but it sounds like an electrical short (or poor connection) causing the computer to lose power. I've noted when I disconnect the battery and reconnect it after a while the gauges will peg (and you lose all your radio stations). You may want to ensure your grounding wire is securely connected and it has good contact with the frame.
