How much RAM? <1GB? Please see:
4GB
It kinda sounds like a lack of memory, a corrupt install, corrupt disk
or any combination thereof.
It would seem the easiest route is to reinstall, ensuring your system
meets the minimum requirements (if it doesn't already).
Installing has never been an easy route for me.
Before I do it yet again, I'd like some evidence that
the problem is something that reinstalling might fix.
For all I know, Fedora 17 might like my motherboard
only slightly better than Fedora 16 did.
Eventually I discovered the reason for my Fedora 14 problem:
The Fedora 17 installer found one Fedora 14 partition,
but not the one I wanted.
As I did not trust myself to edit a grub2 grub.cfg file,
I changed the boot drive in the BIOS and tried to go from there.
That was the point at which I discovered that the
Fedora 17 installer had put grub2 in both MBRs.
Fortunately I had a Fedora 13 live disk available.
I used it to install an old grub and went from there.
At present, Fedora 14 is my only working Linux system.
