my S3 restart by itself

[crazybread]

Hello I am having a problem with my Samsung S3 that it restarts by itself. This has been going on for i would say 4 days so far when i have my phone on the desk it restarts by itself. When i am on my phone on the internet or doing anything the power button menu pops up all the time and the screen go blacks it’s like i am fighting my phone because the phone thinks i am touching the power button on the side of the phone but i am not. I am thinking about going to replace the power button just the one that you touch not take apart my s3 but I am not sure this would work. What should i do to get my S3 fix?
