Check belt tension, leakage around the pump and look for any loose hoses or hoses with kinks that may cause the obstruction.
By the sound of it, its just probably crap in either your steering box or the pump. Have both purged (bled) and check again for ailment. While you're at it, have the pump pressure tested as well. It should be okay as long as there;s no whrring sounds when turning the wheel but just in case.
