I suggest, if possible, make an appointment at the Genius Bar in an Apple Store near you and let them look at it.

Apple Store - Find a Store - Apple

Genius Bar Reservation and Apple Support Options - Apple

That would be the quickest way to get the problem resolved. Other than that, all I can suggest is to make sure you connect to a reliable Wi-Fi network.
