Restart your computer and enjoy! You should have access to a new NVIDIA settings tools called "NVIDIA X Server Settings" (press the Super key and type "nvidia" to look for it). Select "Using NVIDIA binary driver - version 340.76 from nvidia-340 (open source)", enter your password and press Apply Changes.

You should now have a choice of driver to use:
#NVIDIA GEFORCE 860M DRIVER UPDATE DRIVERS#
Then press the Super key (usually the Windows logo on your keyboard), type Additional Drivers and press Enter. Also, couldnt there be a 'main' drivers section and a distinct 'experimental' section with Beta and Game Ready. I think it came three drivers updates ago or something like this. Sudo apt-add-repository ppa:xorg-edgers/ppa I have an ASUS ROG G551JM-CN105H with an Nvidia GeForce 860M 4GB and Intel Core i7 + HD Graphics 4600 (edit : also 16GB RAM and Windows 8.1 if it can help). All company, product and service names used. I'm currently using Ubuntu 14.10, but I believe the procedure is the same for 14.04:Īs Sylvain Pineau suggested, open a terminal ( Ctrl+Alt+T) and add the xorg-edgers PPA: All product names, logos, and brands are property of their respective owners. I had similar problems to yours, using either 14.04 or 14.10. If a thread on Nvidias forums is any indication, owners of notebooks with GeForce GTX 860M graphics cards have been experiencing system crashes and unresponsive games for the last few weeks.
