The power related issues are not necessarily the fault of the device its self. It could be a bad ground on your part, or other "new" software that you've installed or started to use.
When the BBB has blinking LEDs ( CPU heartbeat ) this implies that it does in fact work. SO either you're not waiting long enough, or dropbear( assuming ssh ) has lost its mind again. Yet there are other possible causes as well. Get a serial debug cable as Robert suggests, and see what is happenign at the console / uboot prompt.
