After some time and prayer I've somehow got it fixed. :) Just totally reinstalled drivers.
Before I tried a lot of different stuff - like installing bumblebee, gdm or different drivers for example. That's why not all of this steps will be required for You I believe. On the other hand maybe I did something more before, which You will not find here. Anyway You can try it.

sudo ppa-purge ppa:bumblebee/stable
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf*
sudo apt-get purge nvidia* bumblebee*
sudo rm /etc/X11/xorg.conf
sudo apt-get autoremove
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get upgrade
sudo reboot
sudo apt-get install nvidia-331 nvidia-prime
sudo reboot

And before I purged 'xorg-edgers' ppa with 'ppa-purge ppa:xorg-edgers '.

And my current '/etc/X11/xorg.conf' content:
"

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier "layout"
    Screen 0 "nvidia"
    Inactive "intel"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "intel"

    Option "AccelMethod" "SNA"

    Device "intel"

Section "Device"

EndSection

Section "Screen"

    Device "nvidia"
    Option "AllowEmptyInitialConfiguration" "on"
    Option "IgnoreDisplayDevices" "CRT"

".

Hope that it will also work for You.
