Hi. I setup a machine a few months ago. Video card is Gigabyte 
GV-N650OC-2GI GTX 650 PCIE.
Linux Mint 3.2.0-23-generic.
I'm using 3 korean 2560x1440 monitors.
I spent close to 2 days getting the screens to work.
About every month, X doesn't completly start on boot, and i have to 
reset and it starts ok.
On investigating the log files, Every thing looks the same up until a 
certian line.
After the line when I boot and it works, I get a lot of extra log lines.

These are the lines from the log file where X starts:

[    28.855] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "DVI-D-0: 2560x1440 @2560x1440 
+0+0, DVI-D-1: nvidia-auto-select @2560x1440 +2560+0"
[    29.027] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "VGA-0: nvidia-auto-select 
@2560x1440 +5120+0, DVI-D-1: nvidia-auto-select @2560x1440 +2560+0"
[    29.199] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "VGA-0: nvidia-auto-select 
@2560x1440 +5120+0, DVI-D-0: nvidia-auto-select @2560x1440 +0+0, 
DVI-D-1: nvidia-auto-select @2560x1440 +2560+0"
# other lines after this, I don't think are relevant.

This is the line from the log file where X doesn't start.

[    29.441] (II) NVIDIA(0): Setting mode "VGA-0: nvidia-auto-select 
@2560x1440 +5120+0, DVI-D-1: 2560x1440 @2560x1440 +0+0"
