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.
The APC unit has had more to handle lately than you should reasonably expect. It wasn't getting chance to recharge before the next incident. I'm not blaming it.
