Although I appreciate Dhaval commenting but response sounded like off-topic.

If I were to see any process eating CPU would have solved the problem but
as far as I can see there are no obvious indicators of the problem.

When I boot into command line (by disabling display manager) it seems to
work fine. KDE with kernel 3.11.10 works fine. And kernel 3.13.8 and 9
won't boot at all but kernel 3.13.10 might boot from time to time.

Fleeing to another distribution is a sign of uber desperation and not
threat as you say. It's morning here and I am troubleshooting my system
instead of getting my work down.
