I'm guessing that "power save mode" is a byproduct of a bigger issue. From the console, do you see it continuously trying to reboot? If yes, the error looks like a potential filesystem problem (hard drive or flash). Does it respond to any commands?

 

I would suggest one of the following approaches:
