Hi Yanming,
I'd say there are 3 possibilities:
a) most likely your hardware is broken. I suggest to check memory by
running memtest86+ for many hours; there should be 0 errors.
b) less likely: your graphics driver is somehow very misconfigured. Are
you running the NVIDIA-supplied graphics driver that you somehow
manually configured? If so, after saving /etc/X11/xorg.conf try running
system-config-display, choose the VESA driver or the CentOS-supplied
NVIDIA driver if applicable. It will be slower but maybe more stable.
c) other operating system reasons. Use 'dmesg' and try to understand its
output; at least check for error messages.
HTH,
Kay
