Galaxy S5 vibrates, shuts down, starts up again and can’t get past the logo

Problem: Every now and then (happening more often) my phone will vibrate for about 30 seconds and shutdown but it tries to restart itself. Rather than it restarting it stays on the Samsung android screen, flickers then vibrates for a second then goes black and the same screen comes up. I don’t know what is causing this. Also my phone overheats all the time and images are burnt into the screen. Took it to my provider and they thought I’d had the screen on for hours when that is never the case. My settings have it to dim and shut off after 30 seconds. Can you help me please?

Troubleshooting: The problem isn’t with the Settings but with the Power button–it’s stuck! Power buttons seldom get damaged so if this problem occurred without apparent reason, then it’s stuck. Try pressing it many times to see if you can fix that. If not, then try taking of the case and fix it or have someone do it for you especially if you’re not comfortable opening your phone.
