Help Phone keeps randomly powering itself off. Anyone else having this problem?

Recently my phone started randomly powering itself off when it has been in standby for a while. Is there anyone else having this issue, and is there a fix?
 
Yeah, was happening to me a lot while in my pocket. Only turned off, so not sure if it counts as random reboot.

There was a recent update but I haven't used my SGR since upgrading to an S3...
 
I get random restarts while switching apps sometimes, but it always just restarts and doesn't shut off. I also haven't had any problems with the power button so it's not related to that issue that some people have had. I think it's something wrong with Samsung's version of ICS. On this phone at least.
 
Honestly I've had that problem occasionally with nearly every phone I've ever owned, Droid or not, smartphone or not.

Happens about once every week or so.

I do find that it happens less if I reboot my phone daily.
