I have had relative success (though not tested long term) by enabling
noapic and nomodeset as kernel command line options. Without those two,
my X would freeze up almost instantly at the login screen. With those
two, I was able to boot, log in, and run through multiple windows
(including one full 1080p video playback).
However, all of this was accomplished on Ubuntu 13.10.

Edit /etc/default/grub and include:

    GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash noapic nomodeset"

Then run sudo update-grub and reboot

Since then, things seem to be running quite well.

Here are the nvidia packages I have installed:

   iB  nvidia-319-updates              - NVIDIA binary Xorg driver, kernel 
module a
   i A nvidia-settings-319-updates     - Tool for configuring the NVIDIA 
graphics d
