Someone just opened a bug about NV4E. You have NV4C, but one could
imagine that there would be similarities. See
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=73445 and feel free to
add yourself to it if that matches your symptoms (esp if it's a 3.13
regression). Otherwise, more information would be nice. See
http://nouveau.freedesktop.org/wiki/Bugs/ for the sort of information
that's generally useful.
