Car randomly stalled at light tonight

Coming home tonight (about a 25 mile drive) I got stopped at a red light. I pulled up to the light and pushed in the clutch and after about 2 or 3 seconds the car just stalled. All of the dash lights went red and the center display said 'PCM failure'. I started to panic as I was first in line at the light and it was rush hour (a whole bunch of cars behind me). I quickly flicked the key to 'off' and then back to 'on'. This is something familiar to me since I used to stall now and then in the first couple weeks of getting the car (aftermarket clutch). The car didn't try to turn over at all! I repeated about 4 more times and finally the car started and I took off. I'm kind of worried about driving my car tomorrow to work right now. Any thoughts? I doubt there is truly a 'PCM failure'. I had about 3/4 tank of 92 octane gas. Mods listed below. No other previous issues to tell of since taking ownership several months ago.

Advice from EVOMS would be great too!
