I give up, I've been reading forums all day and most of the stuff I've tried has led to a blank screen after logging in after reboot (No menus) which I've fixed by re-installing as I found it fastest as it was a fresh install anyways :P

My laptop is a Samsung NP-RV520-S02SE with a Nvidia GT 520M graphics card.

As you probably understand I'm fairly new to Ubuntu. I've also tried downloading the .run file from nvidia.com/drivers which gives me some error after loading for a while or I might be opening it wrong.

Any kind soul could help me out getting my drivers installed properly?

DON'T EVER INSTALL DRIVERS DIRECTLY FROM NVIDIA OR AMD

I will assume you didn't install anything. In the terminal run: 

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update

If your card is NOT Optimus enabled run:

sudo apt-get install nvidia-313 nvidia-settings

reboot

If your card IS Optimus enabled run:

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install bumblebee bumblebee-nvidia linux-headers-generic

reboot
