@ajat-pandita I wouldn't say that >>> #15/#18 is a confirmed workaround. It's a workaround for SOME people. I tried both approaches and some other (even tried 3.18 kernel). Problem still persist for my hardware (Intel + GT750). Seems like something was broken with nvidia drivers since the moment my 14.04.1 had been updated to 3.13.0-45 kernel. I even tried re-install system. It didn't help. Maybe it's something in my ~/.config or another of such kind of directories (because i keep my /home partition untouchable when i re-install system) - i don't know. 
If someone who's going to tackle this problem needs any logs i will gladly provide them.

Best regards

  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
  text mode, then I reboot and go to recovery mode, use 'prime-select
  intel' to switch to intel GPU and reboot, everything is fine, but as
  soon as I switch to nvidia GPU, still same issue.
