Petr Nosek, thank you for updating your BIOS. Could you please answer the following questions:
1) What specific versions of the nvidia driver have you tested in Saucy and Trusty?
2) Are you downloading these drivers from nvidia or using the ones provided by the Ubuntu repositories?
3) What are the specific results when you tested older versions of the nvidia drivers provided by the Ubuntu repositories as per https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BinaryDriverHowto/Nvidia#NVIDIA_drivers_provided_by_the_Ubuntu_repositories ?
4) Did this problem not occur in a release prior to Saucy?

Title:
  10de:064c Ubuntu gnome freeze after start - nvidia drivers

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  In Saucy, nouveau is unstable - sometimes is freezing, i tried to use current proprietary drivers. But after login - monitor is flickering and freezing. A video: There is a video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6NX7lQ5oDYo . I used Gentoo before, and this line helped for me, to solve my problem but in Ubuntu, it doesn't help:
  options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileMode=432 NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=27 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=1 NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"

  This doesn't help:
  me@ubuntu-vbi:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/options
  #Fix for nvidia flickering - (K)ubuntu 9.04 and 9.10
  options nvidia NVreg_RegistryDwords='PerfLevelSrc=0x2222'
  options nvidia NVreg_Mobile=1

  me@ubuntu-vbi:~$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/options
  options nvidia NVreg_DeviceFileMode=432 NVreg_DeviceFileUID=0 NVreg_DeviceFileGID=27 NVreg_ModifyDeviceFiles=1 NVreg_RegistryDwords="PerfLevelSrc=0x2222"
