Joseph, yes every time was a indeed a fresh install. I never attempted to disable the NVidia card in the BIOS. I did however, attempt the opposite, enabling optimus and using the nouveau drivers. People suggested they had luck with that, however I remember not succeeding.

Currently, I am working with 12.04. My current solution has to been to stay booted once I boot successfully... I've noticed higher success with the following setup:

  1) nomodeset - once when Nvidia's drivers are unused (during a kernel upgrade for example). It's important that I remove this once the drivers are compiled and installed for the new kernel otherwise I do not boot.

  2) Empty boot lines for the kernel, in other words removing "quiet splash".
