This is probably going to sound dumb but I didn't realize that Mint doesn't install newer kernels via CLI update methods.
I installed Mint 17 and then upgraded it to 17.1 a long time ago and still had kernel 3.13.0-37-generic while I also have Ubuntu Trusty 14.04 and it has kernel 3.13.0-53-generic.
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ ls -ld /var/log/installer | awk '{ print $6 " " $7 " " $8 }'

So, after some searching on Google I found out how to install the 3.13.0-53-generic kernel and am currently booting with it.
It is always a manual process of installing newer kernels with Mint?
Here is all I have:
Code:
cavsfan@cavsfan-MS-7529:~$ dpkg -l | grep -e "linux-kernel" -e "linux-headers" -e "linux-image"
ii linux-headers-3.13.0-37 3.13.0-37.64 all Header files related to Linux kernel version 3.13.0
