Have you tried this?

I've tried all the first three methods, but they all fail for me
(see thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2218239)

good luck

Do you have a hybrid graphics card ? Wiki for this is on https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/Config/HybridGraphics .

You can try the following
1.) Remove bumblebee package and delete file /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf


sudo apt-get remove --purge bumblebee*
sudo rm -f /etc/modprobe.d/bumblebee.conf


Bumblebee blacklists nvidia driver and prevents it from loading.

2.) Install nvidia-331-updates driver and nvida-prime packages from official repositories.

sudo apt-get install nvidia-331-updates nvidia-prime


3.) Reboot machine

sudo reboot
