That sounds like either a hardware problem (ie CPU overheating or

Apparently, power was fluctuating drastically before they decided to
cut power, so a hardware problem is a definite possibility. A PSU
failure would not surprise me in the circumstances.
Assuming I can ever ssh in again, what log would hardware failures
be reported to?
Start with /var/log/messages and output of "dmesg" command. Doing an
"ls -ltr /var/log" and looking at others which have changed recently
would also be advisable...
