Hi.
Take the input leads out of the amplifier for a start, but leave the power and remote cables connected.
See if it still turns on and off. If still faulty, you have probably blown a power transistor inside and the amp is shutting down when the output rises each time. It will almost certainly need looking at. Also make sure you are running into the correct impedance load. If you have hooked up too many speakers you will cause damage.

I was listening to music loud on my 5.1 speakers and they cut out. No sound, no lights to indicate it's even on. I did notice the fuse but took it out and it looks fine.

What has most likely happened, is that the speakers were over-powered and could not deal with the amount of sound. Or the other thing that would have happened, is that the fuse blew. If either of these is the case, the only solutiono is to purchase a new fuse for the speakers,(make sure you notice the voltage of the fuse - (find that on the original fuse itself.))
And after that, don't listenm to music that loudly again!
