What happened: 'yum' update command created a new kernel-header, your old NVIDIA driver (that manages your graphics cards), was compiled to the old kernel-header before you ran the 'yum' update, so now GUI will not load.

Referencing the image below, in most cases: - CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1160.42.2.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core) ← Your new default kernel-header after running yum update (NVIDIA driver NOT compiled to this kernel-header)
- CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1160.31.1.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core) ← Previously working kernel with display (NVIDIA driver was properly installed and compiled to THIS kernel-header)
- CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1160.11.1.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core) ← Fresh install, after updates to setup for initial NVIDIA driver installation (disabling Nouveau) (NVIDIA driver was properly installed and compiled to THIS kernel-header)
- CentOS Linux (3.10.0-1127.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core) ← Created during the initial CentOS installation (fresh install)
- CentOS Linux (0-rescue-d7d3687fde2848c18c21b05a0cfe21cf) 7 (Core) ← Created during the initial CentOS installation
