Hi,
I installed Fedora 12 x86-64 onto Hp Z800 workstation, had a problem with software updates so used
$su -c 'yum update',
problem was fixed. Installed Adobe Acrobat Reader. Downloaded few other programs but did not install them. Then, the screen froze. Tried Ctrl-Alt-Del to restart, didn't work, so reset the machine from the power button. Then someting very interesting happened - machine went into a loop mode, started, failed to boot fedora, shutdown, restarted by itself, failed to boot fedora, shutdown...etc about six times. Then I just shut the machine off. Before fedora could be loaded, the pc just shutdown in each case. At start tried pressing F10 but didn't work.

Has anyone else experinced a similar problem?
