What kind of subs are you running off it? I had the same problem years ago with a PG XS2200.. in the end it was the subs that caused the amp to screw up..

^ as Yuli says bad ground ... or
a poor connection in the power supply... or
an overheating amp (bad location/ air flow)... or
an internal amp problem... or
a speaker/ speaker wire issue... or

If you run those subs in parallel, that would bring the amp load to 1 ohm. Will that amp run 1 ohm stable?

If you tried to do the above first, maybe you killed your amp.
