Sounds like what happened with my old Opel Astra. It was a faulty voltage regulator in the alternator causing power surges and frying the ECU. Did you notice any burning smell at first?

Thanks. No burning smells. Could the alternator be the problem even with a weak battery?

In my case, the weak battery was because of the overcharging that damaged it. Get it to a workshop for a proper diagnosis. They can check the alternator and battery. Don't risk damaging more electronics.

Thanks for the advice. The workshop confirmed it: defective battery led to overvoltage and electrical issues. Replacing the battery and a system reset cost 290€. Sorted!
