Default c5 corvette wont start

I have a 1999 c5 corvette with an intermittant problem.It first started with the car cutting out while just driving along most times shifting into neutral and restarting while rolling got it going again.Sometimes I would have to pull over and put the car in park to restart.It got progressively worse to the point where it would not restart for several hours.Then it got to the point where the starter would not turn over.No noise no clicks nothing and no warnings on the dash.I have gone thru the fault codes and the only ones i get are for the HVAC b0361,363,365,367,and 441.Is my computer dead?the PCM or the BCM.Anybody ever experienced anything like this?

8VETTE7, I am thinking he may have ignition electrical switch issues.

OP, have you replaced it since you got the cat or have any maintenance history on it?
