You have been subscribed to a public bug:

My PC is stable running Ubuntu Server 12.04.5 LTS using the old kernel
3.2.0-29.46. But it crashes whenever I tried to update the kernel to
3.2.0-65.99 or higher (including 14.04.2 LTS). So somewhere between
3.2.0-29.46 and 3.2.0-65.99, changes to the kernel caused my PC to crash
(note: I have not tried kernels older than 3.2.0-65.99, so I don't know
the exact version that started to cause the crash).

I think this is likely a hardware compatibility issue since I could not
find any system logs regarding the crashes.

My PC is very old (Compaq Evo D510 SFF/07E4h, BIOS 68602 v2.14
08/15/2002), so I am not sure if this bug is worth troubleshooting.

In the meantime, I am happy with the performance of my PC running
3.2.0-29.46. But if anyone is interested in troubleshooting this bug,
please let me know.
