One more idea -- try it with nouveau.runpm=0 -- I've had some odd
results with it on my older cards (but I don't remember hangs, but I
also didn't spend a lot of time on it, just plopped the option in and
moved on). This is a feature that got in in 3.12, and is really the
only major nouveau-affecting change in that kernel for your card
revision.
