This may be the same problem I'm having with Nvidia and Ubuntu kernel 3.13.0 (to check your kernel version issue "uname -r" in the terminal) How do I update to Ubuntu kernel 3.13.0 on 12.04 LTS without breaking the Nvidia graphics driver?

The only thing I could find on this was patching the kernel, details are on this Nvidia forum https://devtalk.nvidia.com/default/topic/644906/linux/331-20-on-3-13-rc1-kernel/ I don't think this is a perfect solution so go ahead with it at your own peril.

My solution was reverting back to a previous kernel, I'm not sure if this is possible on 14.04. Please be careful you don't want to remove a kernel without having a previous kernel installed although you may be able to install an older kernel with a new one installed so sudo apt-get install linux-image-3.5... The working kernel that I'm using is linux-image-3.5.0 (specifically linux-image-3.5.0-52-generic). You can check what previous kernels are installed by either;

typing the following and hitting TAB

apt-get remove linux-image-

Or issuing this command

dpkg --list | grep linux-image

But please note that I'm receiving a warning that security updates for the kernel and graphics drivers won't be available after August. I think we might have to wait until this is fixed by the Ubuntu team.
