weird problem - car stalled

my car suddenly stalled when I waited for fd for about 10 mins last nite...then the car won't start..... I turned the key a few times then the ECU is reset by itself because the CD popped out & needed me to enter the code. But after like another 10 mins wait, the car started w/o problem...!!
So does anyone know what cause that?
I have starter replaced about 7 or 8 months ago...so it won't be the starter isn't it? I don't know what else because I don't know car very well..... would it be the o2 sensors? because the check engine light was on about 3 days ago....the flex pipe has a leak...but the CEL gone yesterday afternoon...so...I don't really know, can anyone has any idea what those were? Also the car is acting a little weird in the morning when it's cold I think...it's kinda hard to start...it happened since last Monday... it was started good before last Monday..!!

All power & ground seem ok...!!

Also what I meant "it's kinda hard to start" on the 1st post is not like hard to start...is when I turn the key, there is nothing happened, no sound nothing... just like no iqnitition?! so I have to turn the key a few times, then one time when it hears starting sound, then the car will start w/o problem....

I had that problem and it was happening alot also when i would draw to much current my car would stall out so i was messing with my conections and i found that the power going right from the battery to the fuse box was way corroded and it was hanging by like 1/4 of the wires. Check that start your car then take the cover off your fuse box and wiggle that cable around see if the car stalls. If so just replace it with new power wire and some ring terminals.
