#15/#18 is a confirmed workaround.

The issue seems with generating the correct Xorg-Configuration file.  I
tried using nvidia-xconfig however it never got to a point where it
could generate a correct and working Xorg.conf file. Following #15 and
#18 from the responses in this bug, has actually resolved my issues.

To be more precise, I followed #18 step by step and the issue is resolvd
now. I have a functional install of Ubuntu 14.04.1 with NVIDIA-331
Drivers from the Stock Ubuntu Repos.

This has saved me 2 Days  of total Frustration. I have had to reinstall Ubuntu 2 times just because of this Crazy Issue
Thanks to Simone Pernice (pernice-libero) and kcpr (kcpr) for this wonderful solution.

My Specs - Lenovo Z50=70 Laptop Nvidia 820M Graphics Card with Intel 4000 Series Onboard haswell Graphics Card.
Ubuntu 14.0.4.1

  331.89 from Additional Drivers application then reboot, it shows black
  screen, no login window, I even can't use ctrl+alt+F2 to switch to

  intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as
  soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
