Default 1999 civic b20 dies after 5 mins of idling

Hi guys, my 1999 civic with b20b engine dies after 5 mins of idling. All the gauges dies and the car misfires before the car eventually dies. It doesn't want to start after that because the battery is completely drained by then. Any ideas? Anyone please help

It sounds like a alternator and/or battery problem.
Put a voltmeter on it and note:
1) voltage when turned off.
2) voltage when cranking
3) Voltage at idle
4) voltage at 2,000 rpm.
