would suggest checking all the main ecu connections under the bonnet first, for water or corrosion or damadged wiring also check and clean all earth cables,fuses and relays, get the alternator and battery voltage checked as it does sound like a wiring type of issue for all these symptoms to be happening at once

The picture of the car with a padlock through it is the immobilizer. When this shows the car will not start. Try having the key reprogrammed to the car...
