Have you checked your battery???
A bad battery will not hold a charge. When you jump it to start it it will then keep running on the power produced by your alternator.The alternator will be trying to charge your battery but will not be able to if your battery is bad.

Wont start without being jumped but will die soon after

The problem may be a bad alternator. When the battery is completely dead jump starting the car will charge the battery enough to run the car for short periods. Take the alternator to the auto parts store and have it tested (usually for free).

Wont start new starter good battery

Even though my battery showed a good voltage it wouldn't crank the engine in my grand prix anymore. It wouldn't start with a jump box either. As soon as I put in a new battery it was fine.

I was driving and all of a sudden my car cut off and wouldn't start. The only way it would start is by jumping it off, but it would soon cut off

sounds like either your battery or your alternator has gone bad....if you can get it to an auto parts store they can check it out and tell you which it is or both....
