Would you be able to PM your full configuration and site url plus the contents of nginx -V?
Would you be able to run a debug build, configure nginx to log debug level messages, and post the resulting contents of error.log (or PM) the contents of error.log ?
When i turn pagespeed on then have aborted connection and this error.log message:
Pagespeed config: (inside server{} section)
nginx 1.8.0, CentOS 6.7
When i change to pagespeed Off; - nginx working.
