Hi, thanks a lot for your help, I do appreciate it 😊I'll try to answer your questions, I am not that skilled on linux.

Well, I didn't know anything about epel or dkms. When trying to install Nvidiz by Yum, there were dependencies. then I look for dkms. The Dell site recommended to install epel in advance. Thus there were a chain of packs I supposedly had to install in advance.Â
So I did $yum install epel, next I've downloaded the dkms rpm and installed via yum as well. Next I've installed Nvidia drivers by $yum install *nvidia*
Then I've accessed a Nvidia visual app installed but did nothing there. I've assumed the board was not visible yet by the system and then I've decided to reboot and try to load the drivers. What happens next you already know, the boot has freezed and I've tried to boot over again and again ever since.
Although freeze in the middle, when I hit <ctrl> <alt> F2 I can go to a shell and log in. Then I can do a lot, including run Gromacs or access this PC from my mac through ssh.
Once I can log in in the shell can I fix the system from there?
You've said I could recover the system booting from USB but I don't know how to do it. Should I have the Scientific Linux in a stick?
Thanks, Rafael
