Titan X for CUDA 7.5 login-loop error [Ubuntu 14.04] after power out

My computer was not responding so I did a hard shut down and when it restarted I couldn't login.
I found for solutions and everything seemed to point that I needed to reinstall my drivers.

To get to this conclusion I inspected the .xsession_errors file and it told me I had a few errors. One of them was with team viwere so I did remove it

sudo apt-get purge teamviewer
Another issue was an error that went something like this

"GLX couldn't find display"

Some forums said to reinstall the drivers.
One easy way to reinstall the drivers is to do it through :

sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mamarley/nvidia

sudo apt-get update

sudo apt-get install nvidia-352
where 352 is the latest driver for Titan X. I did this and reboot the system. After this I was able to login. However, I still needed to fix cuda because the new installation of drivers broke my cuda installation. How to fix the cuda part will be on another post. Good luck
