How To Fix iPhone 5S Blue Screen and Reboot Issues

Apple iPhone 5S smartphone is a very good piece of device, one that has won the hearts of many iPhone fans but same can not be said for some people; see  my experience below.

Recently, my iPhone 5S started showing me blue screen in the middle of playing a game or using an app. After showing this blue screen it will reboot and then come back to normal only to go into blue screen minutes later. This problem started after doing the OTA update to iOS 8.1.2 few days back.

In other to fix this, i decided to reload the iOS 8.1.2 on my iPhone 5S through iTunes. I was successfully able to reload the iOS however the problem persisted. Frustrated with this issue, i started doing some digging until I came a cross a permanent fix which I shall write down in the next paragraph.
