I Updated my iPad Air 16gb wifi model with iOS 8 yesterday and since then I am facing random reboots with blue screens. Is this a known issue or am I in trouble ?

I dont know what they are but there is a problem? Many have this seldomly enough not to pay it any attention.
Millions and millions of other users are pleased. You are not. Buy something else.
Alright. 🙂
The benefits outweigh the problems - of which there are few.
I Upgraded to IOS 8.2 yesterday and for 24 hrs. Had my wonderful
IPad back. However, today I've had a dozen reboots so back to
frustrating.

And what have you done about it?
I have a iPad Air that started doing this a few weeks back. Would only happen once, maybe twice a day so I figured it was just a bug and the next update would hopefully take care of it.
Well the other day I was reading a discussion forum and it rebooted, only this time it just kept looping and looping. It finally booted back into iOS and I attempted a reset, rebooted in the middle. Tried a restore, rebooted. DFU recovery, rebooted. Kept trying and got it to the point where it asks if I want to use a backup or setup as a new iPad. Tried both different options but eventually will reboot.
It is seriously a paper weight now and I am out of warranty, but do plan on having Apple take a look at it. I am going to push for a free replacement or a repair. It was their software update that borked what was a perfectly fine iPad. And considering how many apple products I have purchased and this is the first time I have ever had a hardware issue, I really do hope they take care of this. The sad thing is, is that my iPad stayed at home 90% of the time, never played games on it, only used it for web browsing and RDP. And while I have a MBA 11" and even a i7 Surface Pro 3 it's just not the same as grabbing my iPad really quick to check the websites I frequent....
i just update my ipad to ios 8.2.0, but now i got same problem.. when i open safari, it's restarting and won't back normally again. help me ..
What have you done to help yourself?
restore my ipad air but nothing's different... any solution?
Did yours reboot during the restore or after? You could try a DFU restore as well (google it). Gut feeling is you will probably be wasting your time, but it is always worth a shot.
My solution was taking it to the apple store and getting a nice genius and manager. Mine was going to cost $299 for a replacement, but they brought it down to $149, which I paid. I am sure if I I could have got it for free if I really wanted to push it. But I will keep that in my back pocket so if one of my other much more expensive mac's (I have many) fail.
Good luck!
I started having this issue after downloading ios8 . I called apple and they told me to factory reset my iPad ,. I did that but it started happening again . Please get this fixed . I thought apple was supposed to be a better company than others ?
Having same issue. on iPad 4. Constant blue screen and reboots. iPad came pre-installed with iOS 8. No updates have fixed it yet. I have only had the iPad for 3 weeks. Apple support says they cannot fix it because the iPad was purchased as-is from Amazon.com. Please send out a fix for this.
Me! basically, i was reading something online using my phone (on the google chrome app) then the screen just turned blue and my phone rebooted. I'm so confused is this normal. Or a bug. I just updated to ios 8.3
I Have the same problem on my iphone6 64G with ios8.3 ,i had it before this update to but now is intorable! sometime my wifi drop and it randomly reboot And sometimes it shows blue screen and randomly reboot ;i think it is beacuse a software bug.
It happen 4 or 5 times a day! Apple please fix it...
The blue screen appeared while I was using Quicktime to record my phone's screen. I tried to restore and update the phone, but it still goes to blue screen after restoration. I'm using iOS 8.3, OS X 10.10.3, iTunes 12.
