Have you taken the latest update to 4.3? If so did you do a full factory reset afterwards?

If you have taken the update it could be that the battery needs recalibrating:

Charge it to 100% and then let it run out to the point it will not turn on...recharge to 100% and fully discharge and repeat...3 cycles should do it.

There is also the possibility it could be a failing battery; so if you know someone with an S3 try swapping over the battery and see if that makes a difference. Remember some of these phones are approaching 2 years old - so batteries are starting to loose performance.
