iPad Air, iOS 8 and random reboots with blue screen

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 ?

Okay! Rather than just sit around getting frustrated with the problem (it's happened three times for me now), I decided to try changing something.

I switched off the auto-brightness feature for the backlight, so see if it was some kind of random power glitch. My brightness is somewhere above 40%.

I've used my 128Gb iPad Air a fair bit today, but no reset. Does anyone else want to try this out?

I got tired of the BSOD so I rolled back to iOS 7.1.2.


In case anyone want to do it here's a link. Note if you didn't do a backup while you had ios7 your iPad will be reset completely as new. That was my case but I rather use a fresh ios7.1.2 that works than a buggy ios8.

In the past I also had the same issue with Apple TV updates... been using firmware 5.3 which is the only one that works flawlessly.
