have the battery tested, also make sure the cable are nice an tight on the battery, I had an issue where I had my battery disconnected while doing some maintenance and when I put the cable on I forgot to finish tightening it. Started the car with no problem, drove around a little bit, stopped to get gas and the car would not restart. checked the battery cable and it was still loose. Tightened it and was on my way.
