I have a smilar case as teo1978. - I have a dell laptop with Optimus technology with both Intel and Nvidia GPU.

Before the upgrade from 331 to 340 I never managed to get the Nvidia GPU running, so I just used Intel instead. After the upgrade, the Nvidia GPU was turned on by default but something was wrong with the configuration in the xorg.conf file. Because of this I got a black screen after rebooting.

The solution that I linked a few posts up actually has a thorough explanation of what happened. It shows how to fix the xorg.conf file and how to prevent ubuntu from changing it back after reboot (it was crucial for me).

After all that my laptop started to actually use the Nvidia GPU for both daily use and manually running simulation on GPU.
