ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04 nvidia driver conflict

My notebook is ASUS u36 which has two video cards. One is CPU integrated Intel 3000 and the other is NVIDIA Corporation GF119M [GeForce GT 520M].



When I do not install nvidia driver, there is a problem that the mouse cursor will disappear or appear from time to time.



When I install nvidia driver from Ubuntu's "Additional Drivers", Ubuntu will suspend after it's running a random time. Ubuntu will not accept anything except "Ctrl + Alt + F1" to poweroff or reboot.



When I install nvidia driver downloaded from nvidia's official website. Ubuntu can not display desktop after login.




From Ubuntu 12.04 to 14.04, this problem always exists. I am not sure whether it exists in 11.10 or earlier.
