To install Nvidia drivers automatically from the ubuntu hardware drivers section visit part 1 of this post.Its always a dissapointment for the linux users because there are no stable drivers provided by the nvidia people nor they disclose the code to ubuntu developers.But offlate we had three major updates of nvidia binary which is quite satisfactory

Nvidia driver might not be loading after the restart.Try to change the line “nvidia” with “vesa”,and get a working X session.
Now run “nvidia-xconfig” so that it replaces vesa with nvidia.kill the X session,and now it works..But the hectic thing is U have to do this on every restart
