Default c6 voltage problem

Yesterday i got a warning to check charging system. Today the voltage gague was bouncing from low of 10 to 13.5.
After driving 10 min. Or so all my warnings started to cycle. I got it home and the car wouldn't start. Dead. Would this be aultinator or voltage regulater.?? Help

Just a longshot but did you check the belt to make sure it was still on there. I spun a belt off my procharger while driving down the highway. The check system light came on along with losing the power steering. That night was a flatbed ride home for me.
