Post this in the C6 section instead of the C5 section and you may get more useful and accurate responses.
First I would check the battery voltage with a voltmeter. If it is OK I would check the voltage at the power distribution point.
If that is good I would get out the Factory Service Manuals and start checking for fusible links and power at the ignition switch, etc.

I have a C5 and C6 So,, here ya go:
Check the battery for proper charge. Test the output voltage of the battery with a meter.
Next,, remove and clean the battery terminals and cable ends.
While the battery is out, have it tested at the auto-parts store. My 11 GS just had the SAME issue. Battery went from GOOD to DEAD/OOC in one day.
Good thing the warranty was still good!
