Though my own Fedora 15 computer is fine, a second installation on a computer I've built for my sister has gone awry not long after finishing setting it up and Updating. Gnome 3 won't boot, though I get the timer on the light blue background for a bit.
The last two siginificant events are that I added LXDE as an alternative choice of desktop, which didn't go wrong on my own computer, and also though it had been fine for one boot, a modest overclocking setting chosen in the BIOS was listed as failed on the screen. The next time I rebooted was the first time after this overclocking failure and the LXDE installation so I don't know which, if any, might be the problem. Could an ooverclocking failure cause this?
I'm not keen to reinstall - though I'm a confirmed Fedora man now it has been quite laborious compared to Ubuntu.
If I press ESC at the point where the computer hangs this message is on the screen a few times: edid checksum invalid remainder 128
There was also: VGA-1 probed a monitor but nolin.
Can I do something like boot into a terminal even though Fedora 15's Gnome 3 desktop won't start, and uninstall LXDE if need be? If so how, and what commands exactly? Or has anyone here any other idea?
As I've only been using Fedora a little while after two and a half years of Ubuntu quite exact and assumption-free directions are what I need.
Thanks very much.
