Default Possible dying PCM?

OK, I have searched the forums but not really found anything as of yet that pertains to my situation. . . which shocked me as I have always been able to find a way to fix our issues through this forum.

Anyways. . .. 2000 corvette convertible.

We just recently replaced the 02 sensors and the starter. The car had been running fine since the replacements. Took it out for a spin tonight and in the middle of our cruise the gauges went out and we started getting the messages of check tire pressure, reduced engine power, low fuel, etc. In addition, all the dummy lights were on as well. We pulled over and went to check the codes in which we got "no comm" on all. We drove it home and disconnected the battery let sit for a bit and then reconnected. Upon restarting the car was running and gave the message to pull the key and wait 10 secs. After doing so and starting up again, all seemed to work OK. Is the PCM going out? Or is it maybe something else?

We bought this one used a little over a year ago and have already had to replace so many things on it that your head would spin. Needless to say the previous owner ran it into the ground.

Thanks in advance!

We pull the codes quite often as we have been getting this car back to life from what the previous owner did to it. Once we got it up and running again and pulled the codes there was all kinds of crazy codes that we had not seen before. I will take a look at what is mentioned and see what I can find. Thanks for the quick reply!
