I assume "network is also unavailable" means you tried pinging the host
and got no response.  Unlikely to be useful, but exfiltrate dmesg using
netconsole might show you something useful in its last moments.

+1;

I had problems like this with switched mode PSUs in a 1RU --
and swapping in a replacement unit didn't help, because it was
(probably) crap power input from mains.

Either swapping to a conventional PSU or putting it behind a UPS fixed
it -- I can't remember which I did first.
