You may consider disabling the splash screen in /boot/grub/grub.conf
by finding your kernel entry:

title Fedora (2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE)
	root (hd0,0)
	kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE ro
root=/dev/mapper/vg_circe-lv_root rd_LVM_LV=vg_circe/lv_root
rd_LVM_LV=vg_circe/lv_swap rd_NO_LUKS rd_NO_MD rd_NO_DM
LANG=en_US.UTF-8 SYSFONT=latarcyrheb-sun16 KEYTABLE=us rhgb quiet
	initrd /initramfs-2.6.33.6-147.fc13.i686.PAE.img

Edit this entry to remove the "rhgb quiet" argument.  Then, if this
happens again, and the system is rebooting, it will freeze in a state
where you can (hopefully) see where it's frozen right there in the
boot messages.

I can't think of any circumstance where it would appear on an already
booted system that is actively being used so unfortunately, I can't
answer this one.
