A couple of days ago (2-21) I ran yumex, looked over the updates and noticed the new xorg...-nvidia drivers were available. Thinking WTH, i hit add all, process queue.
Now i seem to be having some new issues with video.
First noticed with trying to let off a little weekly steam with ETQW last night. The game crashes about a minute into the level, which drops back to the desktop, centers the mouse cursor on the screen and becomes unresponsive. The game behavior is completely normal up until the crash point. Looking over at GKrell, the GPU temp is 160+ degrees!
Now normally the game _will_ run hotter but sitting here idling, the GPU is at 143 degrees, which is NOT normal ( 120-130 range ). Even running glxgears will run it up to 168 degrees!
Here is the tail end of yum.log showing the updates for the last 2 days...

You will notice that there was another driver update last night, which is unusual so soon. I tried it and there was no change in the issues I am experiencing...
Anyone know where I can get the xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-libs.i386 169.09-4.lvn7 xorg-x11-drv-nvidia.i386 169.09-4.lvn7 versions?
Is anyone else experiencing these problems?
Here is some additional info...
