Hello Mark,
I have the same issue with same combo on my desktop computer. I had the
same problem a few months ago and it was repaired as you explained.
Sorry, I can't give you answers. I did a search and nothing helped.
I've read these bug reports but this time they didn't help:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/291269
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1465748
Some help would be very appreciated
