I have the same GeForce on my hp laptop and I can not get anything but the 
text install until I change the driver the kernel uses at boot time.  The way 
to do this is to press <tab> at the countdown to boot an edit the kernel line.  
At the end of the kernel line add linux xdriver=vesa and it should boot into a 
usable desktop.  I ended up having to use the Nvidia driver to get anything 
other than 800x600 but you can do that after you install f10.
Good Luck
Peter
