Maybe a benchmarking program, but it's unlikely that you have a problem there.

* the power supply?
* the data bus (is that the correct term?)?

These would require special hardware to test.

* the graphics card (NVidia GeForce GTX 660/PCIe/SSE2)?

Maybe a graphics benchmarking program. But unless you're seeing a really obvious problem, it's unlikely to be failing.

hmmm...  Our systems are different.  Are these the correct ones to delete on my system?
-bash.3[boot]: ls -l *rescue*

-bash.4[boot]:
I have no "fed" in the file names on my system, and I'd like to be sure before I actually delete them.

Wow, those are old, but they are the right files to delete.

Am I understanding you correctly: what I get when I delete the appropriate files, and then do "dnf --refresh upgrade" won't be what I want?

I'm just saying that using that boot option won't get you an actual rescue boot option like you wanted. After you delete those files, the next kernel install will regenerate them with that kernel version.

I'm looking here:
"https://getfedora.org/en/workstation/download/";
and I don't see it.  Where should I be looking?  (or maybe I'm looking for the wrong thing?)

That's the wrong place, it's not a workstation image. As Ed mentioned, on the getfedora site, further down the page is a link to "Alt Downloads" (https://alt.fedoraproject.org/). On that page, if you go down far enough, there's the Everything net installer. That's the one I use, but any of the network installer images will have the rescue mode option.
