I've only recently (as in the last month or so) started getting this 
error on this box.  I'm fairly religious about updating and have run 
nvidia-graphics-switch on the centos7 box successfully in the past. 
Perhaps it was fixed but was broken again?

I'd be more than happy to provide log info if that would be helpful.
