You could try using --skip-broken to work around the problem
You could try running: rpm -Va --nofiles --nodigest
I tried the following, but it did not help.
10. yum clean all
Code:
Loaded plugins: fastestmirror, langpacks
Cleaning repos: base elrepo extras updates
Cleaning up everything
Maybe you want: rm -rf /var/cache/yum, to also free up space taken by orphaned data from disabled or removed repos
Cleaning up list of fastest mirrors

The elrepo NVIDIA packages are built for kernel 3.x, so you can't use that package if you have kernel 4.x - you would need to use NVIDIA's .run file instead.

What if I use elrepo Nvidia packages to install and upgrade my kernel to the newest one, afterward? What would happen?
I think I would try upgrading my kernel to the 4.x one, and install Nvidia driver from the run file. Do you happen to have step-by-step instruction, however?

Thanks for the results. Now it appears your system is currently using the open-source nouveau driver - which is good. And you do indeed have NVIDIA hardware, which is also good.
Something I completely forgot to mention before; try updating all packages and then try installing the package.
Code:
yum update *
As it maybe that your current kernel just isn't a high enough minor version. Just done a bit of digging and if you have downloaded CentOS 7.6, this thread might explain a few things for ya.
Yes, there is a step-by-step guide, and I even wrote it myself, it's here.

Rep:
Ok, it looks like you have all the necessary packages to build the driver. So now it's a matter of downloading the driver's .run file from NVIDIA's website - make sure you choose the correct driver for your hardware. Then get the system into runlevel 3/init 3, give the .run file "execute" permission, and then run the .run file (excuse the pun).
As long as your system is still working properly (it should be), then I wouldn't worry too much about the error yum's complaining about.
At the GRUB screen, make sure the menu option to start the kernel you are going to build the driver against, is selected and then press "e". Use the keyboard's arrow keys to go to to the end of the kernel's command-line and type "rdblacklist=nouveau", then press CTRL+X to start the system with that kernel parameter.

Rep:
The NVIDIA installer produces a log, particularly if it fails - please provide that using CODE tags.
It should have told you where that log is, it would be in the /var/log folder somewhere - I don't remember exactly where it is there though - but it should once again tell you where it is.

Rep:
Which driver did you actually download? Because from my research it looks like you may need the "legacy" driver, and not the most current driver. My NVIDIA card has also became "legacy" now, therefore I also need to use the "legacy" driver myself.
Try the "Latest Legacy GPU version (390.xx series): 390.87" under "Linux x86_64/AMD64/EM64T" from here.
(I could not find your graphics controller listed on NVIDIA's website in their drivers page, but seems to be mentioned on other sites.)
