Default Need Help!!!

So today my car started acting up a little bit. When Im driving normally and hit a small bump, or step on it, These lights start flashing, and then the air bag light stays flashing for about 4 or 5 blinks, then stops, and it happens again. I happen to flash my high beams today and it turned off on me. Whats going on? I need your help.

Check your charging system, battery, connections. Is your battery tied down as it should? Any major work done lately?

Stereo randomly turns off, yes, and when it does, it goes on and off for a few seconds then comes back again and works good, but after a while it happens again. Yesterday was the first day the lights came on, and air bag light flashing for a few seconds. I woke up today at 5am to go to work, it gave me a low low idle, then it recovered and when I put it in reverse it turned off. turned it back on again and drove to work and when I got there I disconnected the battery for an 1hr or 2. I went out to lunch, it turned on fine, drove fine, thought problem solved, guess not. Right when leaving work I turn it on, and everything went out. no lights, no cranking, nothing. 10 seconds later it turns on. Im furious.
