WTF iOS8?? Siri not working, iTunes can't create backups, frequent BSOD

Recently, I noticed that Siri was not working for me when I launch apps or check for weather.
I thought maybe it's because of VPN or whatever but just now, I tried it multiple times, did a reboot, etc and it is not working at all.
When I launch Siri by pressing the home button, I hear the sound but nothing happens after that.
I know my microphone is working fine because I am able to make phone calls and record voice using the iPhone.

Did a reset. Nothing changed.

Was told to do a DFU, so I tried backing up my iPhone via iTunes but kept getting this message:
iTunes could not back up the iPhone "[name]" because the iPhone disconnected.

Changed the Lightning cable to other ones I have (some of which should be OEM), all of them gave the same error.

So what the F do I do?

Can you take it to Apple and have them take a look at it?

I did a DFU and it still seems to not work, so I guess I will have to take it in for service.
