Have you tried adding the intel graphics drivers from the website? https://01.org/linuxgraphics/downloads

Try rebooting to the Trusty kernel. You are still on the old kernel.

Tried re-loading the intel drivers and then the Trusty Kernel.
All seems to be working correctly now.
Thanks for the help.
