Mysqld will have written some useful information to you log files. The log file you need would normally be /var/log/mysqld.log but the CentOS panel may have put it somewhere else.

In my experience the MySQL log files are usually fairly easy to read and a bit of research with your favorite search engine will lead to a solution.
