This evening I ran the software update on my Galaxy S3. (Sorry I don't know which version to). On the reboot the phone just hangs on the Samsung logo and won't go any further. I have tried a factory reset but the phone just hangs at the same point. This is the 2nd time this has happened to me. Last time I had to send it to the shop for repair and I was without the phone for several weeks. Why is this happening and is there any way I can fix it?

Welcome to the forums.
Have you cleared cache in recovery? http://forums.androidcentral.com/sa...ing-into-recovery-mode-galaxy-s2-s3-tab2.html

maple3,
Can you still boot into Recovery mode? If so, you can try reloading the update - pick the 6th option 'apply update from cache' and see what happens.

You can also try removing the SIM card and SD card and restarting.
