drivers - Installing NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 on Ubuntu 13.04

I have a NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 graphic card with Ubuntu 13.04 running kernel 3.8.0-19 (tried with 3.10.0-999, same issue) and whenever i tried to install NVIDIA driver, either by downloading the *.run file from http://www.nvidia.com and installing it as root (during installation it give some errors as it failed to set runlevel), or doing those following steps:


sudo add-apt-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install nvidia-current nvidia-settings

Whenever I reboot the system, all my screen is messed up (with lower resoluition that should be, and with left and top bars missing), and worked hard to uninstall this driver and get my screen resolution and bars back. Are there any secure and working way to install NVIDIA driver for that graphic card?
