Phone Overheating and restarting multiple times

[Coolman123]

I've had my Samsung S21 5G for 7 months now and for the last few months I've been having problems with my phone. Randomly my phone restarts and I can't return it because it isn't under warranty because of a little scratch on the phone itself.. But my phone starts to overheat then it freezes the screen with a little line of different going across the screen then it restarts and it does this about 7 times before it finally wants to work..
