I do realize that my bug report is extremly similiar to #1276816 but in my opinion it's a different bug since I'm not getting a trace log or any kind of information. I've one line related to the nvidia driver in general inside my dmesg:
init: Failed to spawn nvidia-persistenced main process: unable to execute: No such file or directory
Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
