Thought I post this as well; so I updated my system yesterday, today had
to reboot and then was seeing just the blank screen, so I rebooted my
laptop again only to be greeted again to the same black screen. I was
able to fix it doing the following below, and here are my specs as well:

- Asus X550L having Nvidia Geforce 720
- Running Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS 

So booted up and greeted with the black screen. Pressed Ctrl+Alt+F1 to
get onto the terminal screen, logged in using my credentials, and all I
did was:

$ sudo apt-get dist-update (I didn't run dist-upgrade afterwards as I had upgraded last night)
$ sudo apt-get install nvidia-current-updates
$ sudo reboot

And no more black screen, greeted back to GUI.
