2003 Ford Taurus 6 cyl Automatic 114000 miles

My car loses all power and dies after being drivin about 35-40 miles. When I wait about a hour it starts back up but does the same thing. When its jumped it starts up right away but again dies. I've changed the battery and the alternator was tested and it tests good, Im a single mom with 4 children and I really dont have $200 for an alternator just to see if thats the problem. Any answers would be a great help.
Thank you

If it tested good and wiring okay-have the computer field generation driver circuit of the alternator checked out-
