Couple questions, when you're checking output voltage was your engine at idle ? You should always bring the engine rpm's up to about 4000 rpm's then take a voltage reading. You need to be about 14.5V . Also when you check a freshly charged battery you need to be about 12.4 v. All your #'s seem to be low . As for your system just dying and no power anywhere, you could just have a bad ground. Bad grounds are a very common problem to electrical gremlins.
