Hey,

I'm running 14.04 on an MSI GS60
<http://us.msi.com/pdf/GS60%20Ghost%20Pro-002.pdf> laptop. I can't upgrade
to a newer version of Ubuntu because I need 14.04 for work. I tried
installing 4.3 kernel on it and the machine is less stable (sometimes it
freezes at bootup - soft lockup-CPU stuck).

Will Adam's fix work in 14.04 with one of the following kernels -->
 3.19.0-25-generic or 3.19.0-31-generic?

thanks,
