First time question--

My Asus G750JW laptop with a 765m gpu seems to work fine. Running Ubuntustudio 14.04.



My Asus Q551 notebook with a 840m locks or freezes soon after log-in. The Q551 has Ubuntu 14.04 (Lightdm/unity) with Ubuntustudio features installed later. I have tried Nvidia drivers from Ubuntu, Xorg-Edgers and Nvidia propriatary repositories, all freezing. The on-board Intel seems to work fine. But Lightworks software requires Nvidia features. I have purged and reinstalled Nvidia drivers to no avail. (331 to present) I should be using 340.xx.
No black screen as some have reported.



Many suggestions out there, but they haven't worked so far. My question-- does anyone here have a good work around for this issue?

          Use LinuxMint, it handles very well Asus laptops out of the box. All the Ubuntu headaches to use an Asus laptop with nvidia cards are gone.
