You're using an outdated bios.  The latest BIOS for your MB seems to be v32.5:

I'd update the BIOS and make sure to have the amd64-microcode package (from non-free) installed for good measure.  If you're very, very lucky, that will fix it.

If not, the most probable cause is bad interaction between the grsecurity patches and the base kernel.  Get in touch with the people responsible for the grsecurity patch and kernel you're using...  and BTW, I sure hope that by vanilla 3.14 you meant 3.14.37.
