Nvidia Shield Tablet Problems

Hey guys hoping there are some people here using the shield tablet.
I love it but.... I'm having some problems with it..

 
1, This is my main problem. When i'm using the tablet it will randomly turn off. No "Shutting Down"message or anything. The screen will randomly go black and its off. Sometimes it wont even turn back on and I have to leave it for awhile, other times the back light will come on but the screen will stay black and some times the shield logo will come up then the screen will go black.
 
2, Sometimes the screen will flicker. Think I've seen a fix for this, its PRISM? 
 
3, I know this isn't a problem with the tablet but I've tried two different Ethernet adapters and nothing happens. I've tried one that's straight micro-USB to RJ45 and also USB to RJ45. OTG works perfectly tho. Wondering if someone knew of a video or an adapter they could suggest? 
 
Don't want to have to return it because I live in Australia and don't know how that'll work.
Thanks for your reply's guys! :)

No, I haven't yet. Was sort of hoping that many people were having the same issue and it was a software problem :/

I'm in Australia were the tablet hasn't been released yet so I don't know if they'll ship it back to me?

Honestly don't think many active users have one but I could be wrong.

Yea I am not having any of those issues, try setting the screen timeout to never, then reboot then set it to what ever you want.

And for Ethernet adaptors I have no idea the wireless works great for me

All fixed with a simple factory reset..

As for ethernet adapters I don't get wireless Internet in my bedroom so might buy another wireless router for it. :)
