drivers - Nvidia-304-Updates Broken on Ubuntu 14.04.2

Just tried to start my Ubuntu 14.04.2 machine with a Nivida Geforce 7600 GS. Was using Nivida-304-updates drivers. When the computer boots it completely locks up after logging in. I can get to tty1 through ctrl + alt + F1. I've purged the Nvidia drivers from there and then I can access the GUI.



Any help on getting the drivers working again?




Kernel: 3.13.0-32-generic #57-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 i686
Video Card: BFG Nvidia Geforce 7600 GS OC (Needs Nivida-304-updates)



Commands used to Purge: sudo apt-get remove --purge nvidia* followed by sudo apt-get autoremove
