Comment 32 for bug 1314787

I cured my issue by installing kernel 3.12.36 and the drivers mentioned
in my solution. I was using 3.13.x. I now use 3.14.38 with no issues.

Even though it may not be the same for others, the kernel was definitely
an issue on my system.

What makes this so frustrating is that very few people have this issue,
therefore nothing official is being done about it.
