Hi there, first of all I'm new to linux in general and I've been learning a couple of things so far, I've set up Linux Mint 17.1 Cinnamon how I liked it but the thing is, I can't use my Nvidia card, I have the nvidia-331 drivers installed and whenever I choose Nvidia from Nvidia XServer Settings, it always crashes Cinnamon in fallback mode and I have to choose Intel again to allow it to boot normally, I tried installing bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia and primus but it did not worked at all and it wouldn't let me choose the Intel one either, I had to remove bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia and primus using purge, anyways is there a way to use both?

Oh and my laptop's brandmark and model is Acer Aspire E1-571G

Thanks for the help
