Try booting up the NAS using the boot option to run the memory test. Instructions for that are on pages 58-59 here: https://www.downloads.netgear.com/files/GDC/READYNAS-100/ReadyNAS_%20OS6_Desktop_HM_EN.pdf
It's possible that the power outage damaged the NAS hardware (often it is associated with a surge), or that the unexpected shutdown corrupted the file system. Disabling file search, antivirus, and DLNA during your short window of access might get you past the memory issue (assuming it is not the hardware).
What apps are you running?
Do you have file search and antivirus enabled?

The test has been running for almost five hours now and the only thing the display has been showing the full time is "do_exit+4e8". The power button will not power it off and now I'm worried to a shutdown pulling the power cord.
