We do have the elrepo drivers installed. Maybe part of the problem is also that we're using an IOgear KVM switch?

I'm having issues with a quad video card on CentOS.
We have several systems on CentOS 6.8 and CentOS 6.9. The installed hardware is:
Video card - Nvidia NVS quadro 440 PC - Dell OptiPlex 9020
Whenever you update the kernel, it kills the graphical interface. The system appears to lock up and freeze during a reboot, but you can still
get
into it with SSH, or, if you're at the console, control-alt-F2 gets you
to
a command prompt.
If you exclude the kernel update when applying yum update, it is usually fine. If the kernel update is applied, and you roll back the update, that sometimes gets you back into the graphical console, but more likely than not, it won't.
Not sure where to go with this.
Any suggestions?

Which version of the driver? How did you install it?
If you're not already using it, I heartily recommend using the ELRepo repository, http://elrepo.org/tiki/. We have several dozen CO 6.9 machines with various Nvidia cards and except for a recent version that had an issue with DVI connections (not the repository's fault), we haven't had any problems.
