Latest NVIDIA driver installation that has worked for me on a fresh installation of CentOS 7.x. It requires you to update the kernel beforehand, so it may work in case someone accidentally updates their kernel.

Update 9/26/19: Works for fresh installation of CentOS 7.7.

Instructions

This is after a fresh install of CentOS

Run update commands
```
yum -y update && yum -y upgrade
```
Note (1/8/19): At this time, it will take me to '3.10.0-957.1.3.el7.x86_64' on my next reboot.
Note (8/12/19): If coming from an update, it will take me to a release just prior to latest until you update 'kernel-devel'
Reboot system
```
reboot
```

Install this

yum install kernel-devel epel-release
# I selected 'GNOME Display' with 'Development tools' during the CentOS installation. If you did not select 'Development tools', use the next command
yum groupinstall "Development Tools"

Add 'nouveau.modeset=0' at the end of 'GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX=' in the default GRUB

nano /etc/default/grub
GRUB_TIMEOUT=5 
GRUB_DISTRIBUTOR="$(sed 's, release .*$,,g' /etc/system-release)" 
GRUB_DEFAULT=saved 
GRUB_DISABLE_SUBMENU=true 
GRUB_TERMINAL_OUTPUT="console" 
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX="crashkernel=auto rhgb quiet nouveau.modeset=0" 
GRUB_DISABLE_RECOVERY="true"

Apply GRUB configuration changes

grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/grub2/grub.cfg
grub2-mkconfig -o /boot/efi/EFI/centos/grub.cfg

Reboot system, again...
```
reboot
```

Download NVIDIA driver '.run' file from NVIDIA's website into root directory

wget NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64* [make sure you obtain the correct one for your system..., do not blindly copy this]
chmod +x NVIDIA*

Use 'init 3' to disable Xorg server
```
init 3
```

Run NVIDIA driver '.run' file

./NVIDIA*
# 'Yes' to install NVIDIA's 32-bit compatibility libraries
# 1st option, or 'do not install' or 'continue', when it complained about 'an incomplete installation of libglvnd was found'
# 'no' to running the 'nvidia-xconfig utility'.

Validate NVIDIA driver installation using 'nvidia-smi'
