chain... slipping question

I wish that I could better explain this problem, but here's what happens:
I'll be mashing on my mountain bike (this virtually always occurs when I'm going uphill or putting extra force on my bike) and all the sudden their will be no resistance (usually on the downstroke) which has caused me to wipe out and come close to wiping out a few times. Immediately after doing this the chain will resist again, without any adjustments (if I can keep from wiping out, I can keep going)

what might be the cause of this/how can i fix it? I'd post relevant details, but its just a ****ty old trek 800 frame with a bunch of swapped in parts as old ones broke (their virtually all cheapo)

thanks!
