Tried letting it put it's own layout on there. Tried using just 4 basic
partitions and using ext2. System freezes. Any ideas why?

"UNIX is user friendly, it just picks it's own friends."
Can you boot the F13 dvd in rescue mode?
Sure, it will not find an installation, that's OK.
You will get a shell.
From the shell see if you can use either parted
or fdisk and see if they freeze.
If so, you might have some HD hardware or connector problem.
