Comment 202 for bug 1268257

The same driver bites my ass on both 14.04 and 14.10 actually. I am forced to install Windows on my machine (and lose bcache) on a machine of mine after this driver made the entire system too unstable.

Card: nVidia GeForce GTX 650 Ti (Zotac build)
Processor: Intel Core 2 Quad Q9300
Board: Intel Q35 Express Chipset
Releases affected: Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.10
