It may be that kernel modesetting is active and causing the issue. try 
adding the nomodeset option to the grub kernel boot line.

You can check the nvidia linux site to determine which GPUs are 
supported by which closed source driver. (If it is supported, then I 
suggest using akmod-nvidia-YYY from RPM Fusion to make the process of 
getting the driver installed easier.)
