Thanks!

Sorry not sure what this means or how to go about this.

 rpm -qa kernel\*
kernel-3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64
kernel-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64
kernel-headers-3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64

This is the first update under F20 so no way for me to know this (this
was a fresh install).

No.

I have actually done this by downdating (previously). And had the same
effect.

Sorry if these are not what you wanted. I am totally new to this.

Thanks again!
