Here is a work-around which fixed the issue for me:
1. In the stable version (in my case Ubuntu 14.04 AMD 64 kernel 3.13.0-44), open Additional Drivers then select the X.Org X server Nouveau display driver.
2. Allow the setup to complete.  Reboot system.  Confirm driver is working.
3. Reboot into troublesome kernel version (in my case 3.13.0-45).  If Nouveau driver is working ok, open Additional Drivers then select Nvidia proprietary, tested.  Allow that to install, takes a few minutes.
4. Reboot system.  Nvidia driver should be working again.  At least that works for me, although no guarantees on other versions....
5. Today I installed the update to kernel 3.13.0.46 and Nvidia driver is working fine again.
