Ken Sharp, thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. linux-lts-saucy reached 
EOL on August 2014.
See the following documents for currently supported Ubuntu releases:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/LTSEnablementStack

However, while your statement on how your graphics card is not supported by the 
proprietary nvidia drivers in linux-lts-trusty was noticed, I'm not seeing 
evidence to this. As per nvidia's website, the latest version of the driver 
available for your card is 173.14.39. Also, this is available in both Precise 
with linux-lts-trusty and in Trusty itself as per 
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-drivers-173 . Hence, it 
would appear it is in fact supported, but wasn't working when you last tested 
it. I would recommend filing a bug report on the graphics card issue via:
ubuntu-bug xorg

Please ensure you have the package xdiagnose installed, and that you
click the Yes button for attaching additional debugging information.

Pivoting back to the scope of this report, would you be able to either
downgrade your kernel to 3.2.x to maintain supportability and security
updates, or upgrade to linux-lts-trusty+ so troubleshooting may continue
on a supported release?

As well, you may have already done this, but it wouldn't hurt to rule
out a hardware issue by stress testing the CPU via
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Checkbox .
