The symptoms you describe seem more like a failing HD than a power supply.
Can you boot on an external drive?
If you can get access to them, it might be interesting to view the
system logs. That's where the actual error messages as the original
failure would be.
Aside - stop doing things like repairing permissions. That's like
fiddling with your car's door locks when the problem is that the
engine is sputtering. At best it does nothing. At worst it locks
you out! If your HD is failing, the *last* thing you want to do is
add more corruptions to it!
