1987 740 srs warning and vehicle becomes inoperable within approx 3 minutes 700

I suspect a short which appears to be related to an "after warmup" action by the computer. The car starts normally, but after several minutes, the SRS light comes on, the headlights dim, and within a couple of minutes the car starts running very rough, then stalls and won't restart. It acts as if the battery is almost dead when I try to restart. If it sits for a while in the cold, it will start right up and run fine - until the process starts all over again. Anyone with any ideas would sure be appreciated.
