Reading the troubleshooting steps you already tried (to no avail), it could be a hardware (battery? screen? other internal component?) failure but we, just users like you, cannot diagnose that issue remotely, sorry.


In this situation, I believe you have made the best choice by making an appointment at an Apple Store or AASP (Apple Authorized Service Provider) to have your iPhone inspected. After checking it out, they'll give you all the available options.
