Hi,
Your description of problem is a bit too general for a single diagnosis. The following links may be helpful for matching to your specific symptoms:
The Penn State Extension and the University of Minnesota Extension have overviews that may be of help:

More information on bacterial wilt: http://u.osu.edu/vegetablediseasefacts/cucurbit-diseases/bacterial-wilt/
On squash vine borer: http://articles.extension.org/pages/65684/biology-and-management-of-squash-vine-borer-in-organic-farming-systems
Once a specific diagnosis is made, control measures may be recommended.
I hope this is helpful.
