Default [Q] Screen flickers and dies

After flashing PAC rom (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1957299) I've started experiencing some problems on my phone.

At seemingly random times when I am using the phone the screen flickers a bit then goes black and dies. When I try to power it up again it shows the battery as having something like 1% left and the phone usually dies again pretty fast. It doesn't matter if I had a freshly charged phone or 50% left when this happens, it still most often shows as having 1% left after it dies and restarts. I have never experienced this kind of problem before.

Sometimes the battery shows up as a bit higher than 1% left but still a lot lower than it was before. Earlier today it came on again with 12% left. When this happens I am usually unable to unlock the SIM-card with my pin even though I am 100% sure i input the correct code - it just refuses to accept it and i have to let the phone "rest" or charge it or just pray to the old gods for a few minutes to get it to start again.

I've used a few custom roms and I haven't done anything strange lately with it (except flashing). I flashed the rom with CWM, I followed the instructions and it went through problem free, and I was able to use the rom and phone for a day before this problem showed.

So... Does anyone have any idea what the problem might be? Battery related? Hardware related? Software related? I just hope my phone will survive this so I don't have to buy a new one yet since I've grown fond of this one. I appreciate any and all help!

Try different battery with your phone to rule out battery related problem. try changing kernel...
