I was using akmod-nvidia.  The issue is that the kernel or BIOS isn't 
accepting an unsigned kernel module.

If I turn on EUFI, system won't load the nvidia kernel module.  Turn off 
EUFI, I don't have any issues.

I have searched and I can create a key but as far as I am concerned, 
this should be part of the akmods-nvidia package.

Do you do testing with EUFI turned on?

This machine will be a dual boot with Windows 10 (needed for some games) 
and Fedora so EUFI is going to be required.
