I think you should download and burn F16 live-cd (XFCE I guess is safest for
you) and start with a clean install.

F14 is a non-systemd system and F16 is a systemd system, so it can be tricky;
on top of that you have a graphics card driver problem (perhaps nvidia or
other).

Save whatever personal data (but not any config files) you can and want to
a separate partition or elsewhere (cd-rw, for example).

Why fight if you can start fresh ? In this upgrade path it is preferable.
