sounds like clutch. if you smell something burning when this happens, that's gotta be it. it's weird for it to come on all of a sudden, if that's the case. usually it starts slipping just a bit and gets progressively worse until you get to the stage you're at.

It's probably your clutch. When was it changed last? You've probably been driving with it in pretty poor condition and it just crapped out. Or you changed it recently and didn't break it in proper.
