For over a year, my gauge cluster would reset (trip odometer to 0, all other gauges go to 0, then to max, then to correct reading) every time the car was turned off and restarted. New battery and new alternator didn't fix the problem. Last week, it did it while the car was running. Then this morning, the car shut completely off and the gauges did a reset while standing still waiting to make a turn. The really weird thing about this is that it cleared the MILs that were set (bad knock sensors). This all happened in the span of 1.5 seconds. Anyone have anything like this before?

I have seen instrument clusters going bad on the late model tahoes and trucks do these exact same symptoms. You can send them off to be repaired for a reasonable price and still drive the car. Hope this helps.

have you also checked your battery wires to see if there is a short or something?

Hes got a great point, check your battery terminal connections. Many, many odd occurances start with a bad source connection.
