Why is my Samsung Galaxy Tab turning off and on whilst charging?

For the past day or so, whenever I try to charge my Samsung Galaxy Tab, it has been preforming an odd cycle in which it shows the battery charging icon and then shuts off, a process which is repeated every few seconds or so. Any suggestions on what to do?

I should probably point out that about a few months after I recieved my tablet, it has been (almost always) showing a red "X" over the battery icon when charging, and the charging process is slowed down consideribly. When my "turning off/on when charging" problem showed up a day ago, my tablet had somehow been completely drained of battery power while turned off (which, incidentally, it never did before).
