Default Now my clock is resetting itself???

Last night my HID's started flickering or dimming a little not knowing why...I checked everything and it seems fine...today pulling out of the neighborhood when I hit my blinker my radio shut off for a second like its drawing current or something...then later when I got back in my car the clock reset itself...this is like the 3rd 4th time in the last few weeks...im about to check the ground wires but,is this an indication that the alternator,battery,or starter is going bad???..

Thanks

Most likely the alternator.

im about to check the ground wires
then the hot wires as well which INCLUDES inside the clamps connections both at the post and where the wire goes in, THEN you'll find the problem between either the hot or the ground.

Ok,problem fixed...I took the negative post off and saw corrosion/acid on the inside...wasn't visible looking at it so I soaked it in baking soda/warm water/good brush sand and all is good.
