SOLVED: I still don't know what the official problem is, but switching to the opensource / nouveau drivers worked for me. I need a working PC, so I don't have any more time to put into messing with the regular nvidia for now.
The following is my "cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log.old | grep NVIDIA" output after I try to startx.
What I am left with is my monitor that is put to sleep and unrecoverable.
I had a working machine before the switch from Nvidia 343 to the 346.35-2. However, I added fisco's 10-nvidia.conf file fix and was able to successfully boot once (which lasted the 24 hours before returning to school).
After powering up at school I had a monitor resolution issue, and checked for updates. I saw the Nvidia update, so I removed the 10-nvidia.conf file/fix by fisco, took the update, and then rebooted. I haven't had a working GUI since.
I have tried reinstalling all nvidia drivers after removing nvidia* packages from cache, and then reinstalling the packages fresh.
I am currently at a loss as to what to do and am open to any/all suggestions.
My card is a GeForce GT 640.
UPDATE: there are no errors anywhere in all of the Xorg.0.log and in dmesg, and I am unable to view any modes in xrandr to try and change from the NULL mode to something else.
UPDATE2: I found the errors where it failed to assign any displays to the monitor, and I updated the log file to the one where this occured.
It seems like something is triggering the monitor to go to sleep.
