Sounds like a dead power supply to me. The power was kicking in and out.
Don't let the 3B1 do this too long, it could damage other components, as well.
Get yourself a new power supply, it's possible that you can still get one
from Mike Levin (levin at Hotline.COM) for ~$45 or so. Replace it, and all
should be OK.
Good luck.
