As for your question- your power supply (internal amp) on your deck has gone bad. The static is due to stress on the internal amp, especially when you turn it up. The amp is going out, losing its efficiency and output. When it cuts out, it's more than likely going into thermal protection. If the deck is still under warranty, this will be covered. If not, you can probably have it fixed for around $100, including R&I.
If you're getting a new deck, I love my Kenwood Excelon. It's made with better components than most of the other stuff out there. The Pioneer Premiers are very comparable (but make sure you stick the Excelon and Premier). Alpine also makes a good deck, as does Eclipse (but I've never been a big fan of the Eclipse). Eclipse is NOT the best sounding deck out there- Nakamichi is. They look fairly stock, but they sound better than anything else on the market.

Well I've never heard the Nakamichi, but besides that I do believe Eclipses are the best decks I've ever heard compared to Kenwood and Pioneer. The problem with Pioneer is their EQ's. I had the DEH-P3000 and it sucked! I could fine tune the EQ for one song and when the next came on I had to re-tune it! Eclipse has built in and EQ that somewhat self adjusts to the music so EVERY song has optimum sound quality. Now don't get me wrong Kenwood is a GREAT deck for the money. I had an older Kenwood long before Excelon and it worked fantastically and I never had a problem with it. So Grl_Racer is you want to shell out the cash go with Nakamichi, Eclipse, or Alpine. If you want a great deck for a little less cash go with Kenwood or even Panasonic. Stay as far away as you can from JVC, Sony, Jensen or Pioneer.
Just my 2 cents
