I had that happen once, ended up the tensioner was not putting enough tension on the belt. But you also noted that the power steering is tilted, get that fixed first, may have to replace whole pump.
 
Just checking the obvious--OEM belt? Any replaced idler pulleys/tensioner in past history? Proper alternator (OAD)? Any other info that might help us diagnose? My first guess is something to do with the tensioner, but it's just a guess at this stage.
