The problems you are having with the power supply sound like what was happening to my A3000T.  It would quit like yours.  Sometimes if I waited for awhile it would start again and other times if I gave it a little tap it would start back up.  I took it to a repair place here in town and they just called yesterday with an estimate of between $100 and $150.  It was a hard decision but I told them to fix it.  I probably wouldn't pay that much for a 3000d because they are more common and you can often get the whole computer for around that price.

One of my A3000D's has an A3640 (revision 3.2) and so far it has been OK.  I have a stock low clearance heat sink.  I also have one of those ventilation fans that fits in an empty slot and blows air out of the computer.  I don't know if it makes a difference or not, but I had the empty opening so I'm using it.
