GS3 Powering down

The gs3 I've been using has been amazing. Absolutely no issues whatsoever until yesterday when my phone randomly shut off / froze. The screen goes black and the only solution I've found is taking out the battery and restarting it. It's happened two days in a row now.

I performed a factory reset and am going to try and run it stock for a couple days and see if this fixes the issue. Has anyone else had any problems with this?

I just got done with a messed up phone and upgraded to this gs3, would rather not have to get stuck in the refurbished cycle.

yes I too had this happen within less then a month of having my phone.  Had to do the same thing.  After this happen at least 3x I returned the phone.  Have not had a problem with the replacement that I got in October.  I would return it should be under the warranty still.

So far I have not had any further issues with the phone. I'm wondering if it was a bad application that could have been causing the issue. If there is any information, I'd still like to know. I left a lot of the applications off the phone this time and have been fine.
