Joseph,

             I continued testing today with the new kernel and burned 
another 11 CD's and 2 DVD's. No
             GPF's occurred so I feel pretty confident that the BIOS 
change solved the issue. I think we
             can close the bug report and list the cause as "ASUS 
Optimal" settings. I may have a weak
             memory chip or something that is preventing the more 
aggressive settings from working.
             We had a 4 day power outage due to an ice storm earlier 
this year and it may have had a
             negative effect on the hardware. I will have to run a 24hr 
memory test on the machine with
             the more aggressive settings after 14.04 release and see if 
I need to replace a memory chip
             or something.

             I will add an entry to the bug report stating that the 
problem has not reoccurred and why. I will
             be more aware and check my hardware and BIOS settings 
before I bug report another nebulous
             GPF of this type (e.g. the traceback was instructive and 
did not indicate any running software
             process but gut's level OS processes that could be related 
to BIOS or hardware problem).

             Thanks for your quick response and help,

B.Bogert

Title:
  general protection fault: 0000 [#1] SMP

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  I was burning a CD using Brasero when the Unity desktop died and I
  ended up back at the lightdm login prompt. This was the first problem
  of this kind since running Trusty and occured since the latest update
  on 3/29/2014. The system had been completely stable up to this point.
  Brasero was in the process of verifying the checksum when the problem
  occured. Brasero version is 3.10.0, kernel version is
  3.13.0-20-generic. This is an ASUS Sabertooth motherboard with 4Ghz
  AMD 8 core and 16Gb of memory.  This is my daily use computer and was
  up for several days before the GPF occured. I am using the updates ATI
  proprietary driver from the Ubuntu repository.

  Let me know if I can provide any more information for you .

  Thanks,
