Our Workstation is running CentOS Linux (3.10.0-693.17.11.el7.x86_64) 7 (Core).
After a 'yum update' today during which a new nvidia driver was installed (nvidia-x11-drv-390.25-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64 and kmod-nvidia-390.25-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64) i noticed that certain OpenGL applications didn't work anymore and the wIndow manger of the Mate Desktop behaved strangely.
Therefore i uninstalled
nvidia-x11-drv-390.25-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64 and kmod-nvidia-390.25-1.el7_4.elrepo.x86_64
and installed
nvidia-x11-drv-340xx-340.106-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64 and kmod-nvidia-340xx-340.106-1.el7.elrepo.x86_64
After rebooting the computer it froze after these messages

BTW, the Workstation *is* connected to the Network with an ethernet cable.
Is there a possibility to save this situation, or should i reinstall CentOS altogether?
Thanks
