G3 acting buggy, advice?



I'm using stock Android 5.0.1 on my G3 on AT&T (D850).

Recently my phone has been really buggy. I was randomly using the web browser and then my phone started freezing up, and then wouldn't load up apps. It restarted itself and when it did half my contacts had no names.

No browser was working so I factory reset the phone but then my problems continued:
-all web browsers will still randomly crash when browsing
- apps will get a "Unfortunately, X has stopped" error. Most common is Google Play Services (which I've uninstalled updates and cache several times) but other apps like Messaging or even Settings can fail
- some apps just won't open over time. They'll work fine but then force close, and then any subsequent attempt to open it will force close it immediately

I still have a month on my warranty but would rather not send my phone in. Do you think that rooting my phone and installing a new ROM would fix these issues? If so which rooting method would you suggest and any suggestions on ROMs would be appreciated
