R6250 Reboot Cycling

Hey everyone! I'm having an issue with my Netgear R6250 rebooting constantly. It'll flash that everything is connected for 2-3 seconds then reboot. Turning it off and back on doesn't do anything, holding the reset button doesn't do anything. I even tried 30/30/30 and there was no change. I thought factory resetting it would do something but it still keeps my WiFi name and everything else so I think something is going wrong there since it seems to reboot before it can reset. I did get lucky and was able to update the firmware to 10.0.4.36_10.1.30 but still no change. Does anyone have any more ideas? Or is it officially bricked? I've had it for a good 4 or 5 years.

      I went to a friend's house and used their power supply and it worked perfectly. Went out and got a new one and I believe the problem is fixed!
