I assembled a new PC to install Fedora 14. Boot order is USB, CD/DVD

Is the "countdown screen" the BIOS?
First thing I'd try is to make the CD first in the boot priority. Until
you read from the CD (assuming, if course that your new PC is otherwise
working) Fedora is not going to talk to you. You won't get to
formatting until you get to partitioning the drive.
If you get the same result with the CD as first boot priority, then
suspect your hardware.
