Installed 14.04 Ubuntu desktop ..want to upgrade kernel

Whenever I boot into this OS, Im encountering lot of bugs which are making the system unstable and stop functioning. I have frequently found this error



bug soft lockup - cpu#0 stuck for 22s [chrome:2566]



after this error pops .. system simply freezes.



Googled a lot to solve this problem, one of the fix being upgrading the kernel. To do this first I checked my current kernel version



$ uname -a
Linux vikram-Vostro1310 3.13.0-24-generic #46-Ubuntu SMP Thu Apr 10 19:11:08 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux


So my current version is 3.13.0-24, how do i upgrade to latest 'stable' kernel, does upgrading to kernel 3.14.1 solve all these problems as stated in this link?




Is there a better 'stable' kernel which avoids the above bugs or should i just go forward and upgrade to 3.14.1 kernel as instructed in this link



Kindly help me out, thanks in advance.
