Do your headlights change brightness slightly when this happens?

You're more than likely looking at a voltage regulator replacement. There's a very simple test that you can do that involves putting you VM on the battery to see what it reads while the car is running, should be between 13.3 and 13.7 volts IIRC.

I'll be damned if I can find it, but there's a bunch of threads on this forum about troubleshooting and replacing the VR. Start small with the easy tests.
