If you had many power failures, the filesystem might just be severely trashed. Journals and files out of sync, etc... If a good fsck didn't fix it, you might just be in for a wipe-reinstall, or many hours of finding and fixing corrupted files.. [...]

A UPS hasn't previously been mentioned AFAICT, or possibly I missed it... You do have one connected, don't you?

The controlled shutdown a UPS usually offers at power/brownouts, is a really good solution IMHO.
