Default Stereo & Clock turn themselves off

Been having an issue lately where I will be driving down the road, and the stereo and display of my 2009 Accord will completely shut down and go black, usually for just 1-2 seconds. Have also noticed the last couple of days that the clock has to be reset in the morning when I first start it, much like you would when you swap out a battery. The battery is newer, and the connections all look to be good, so I'm at a bit of a loss. Thanks very much...

Start with the simple stuff first. Stop by a parts store and have them test the battery and alternator. Low voltage can cause strange things to happen in vehicles.

Disconnect the battery and clean all ends of both battery cables. Use some sandpaper or a wire brush. Clean the bolt, eyelet, and any corrosion where the cable connects to the frame/fuse box.

Was any work done on your car just before this started happening?
