2004 Acura Tsx

I have a 2004 Acura Tsx. I purchased a brand new battery 1 day ago as i thought the problem im about to mention was due to a dead battery or weak battery. Anyway, I can jump start the car but once i do the EPS,ABS lights illuminate and the vehicle starts to splutter and it wont take gear and eventually splutters right until it cuts off and vehicle cant start again unless i jump start it again and then the process repeats itself. Also the dash lights flutters and it freaks out.

Any help would be appreciated,

Thank you

Have the alternator checked.

Check battery cables and main fuses for proper and secured installation/torquing?
