All the lights will come on when the car stalls..

Sounds like a battery issue, Check to make sure the connections are clean and tight.
Then bring it to your local auto parts store and have the battery tested.. than report back

That or the alternator isn't charging the battery back up.

You jump it and get enough power in the battery to run it for a while and then it dies.

Best bet is the auto parts store free diagnostic. Do the battery and the alternator.

Or maybe the engine dies and then the dash lights come on?
