In addition you probably need Bumblebee to use the optimus nvidia feature with Hybrid graphics.
Do you get a Grub menu before the blank screen?
And can you get a TTY 'Text Terminal', from 'Ctrl+Alt+F1' ? [ you may need 'Ctrl+Alt+F7' to revert to the Gui screen afterwards.]
If you can, or get a command prompt, 'Alt+F2' + 'term', check that linux-headers-generic file is installed. If not, you need to install it and reinstall the nvidia driver.
Chao!, bogan.
