Help Screen Blacking out, Locking & Power Drain

Hi

I can't seem to find anything that matches my issue...

Bought a Galaxy S2 last October in Australia, and over the last few months it has started doing strange things, mainly during use (messaging, twitter client and once when closing down my wifi hotspot) the screen blacks out (as the normal time out) but I can't 'wake it back up' again, unlock the screen or get any response from the phone.

At the same time, it starts to use the battery considerably and gets quite warm. The only way I've been able to solve it is to pull the battery and then restart the phone.

It is an intermittent fault, so I have no pattern for it happening nor have I any warning as to when it will happen again. This makes it difficult to take back to my provider (optus). It also means there is a strong chance techs won't find anything when I send it off to be checked.

Any help out there?
 
Happens to me too, at first it was three or four times a week, now it happens once every couple of weeks.
I have idea what causes it or how to prevent though...
