I think your problem is likely a sticky power button. (otherwise your phone wouldn't power up on its own when battery is inserted)
I've got to agree with the last poster on both counts. A flash back to stock ROM is often recommended as a fix for different "glitches". However, I agree with his 2nd comment the most, and it being a hardware / button problem. Your comment below definitely seems to point to an issue with the power button itself. That's the message you normally get when you hold down the power button for an extended period of time.
