Someone will probably need more information before they can help you.
I am copying this to the test list so that the most likely people
that can help you will see it.

As I understand your problem, you install F14, it installs without
problem, but then when you reboot after the install, it fails to boot.
It continues to reset over and over again.  

I have seen similar behavior when the kernel could not get the video
working.  When I hit Ctl-C, I was dropped to a console, where I could
log in and examine the logs.  Can you do the same?  What do you see
in /var/log/messages?

Alternatively, you could edit the /boot/grub/menu.lst and change the
defaults so that there is a timeout before booting.   Then edit the
kernel line and add a 3 to the end so you boot to text mode.  Login as
root, and try the startx command.  If it fails, look
in /var/log/Xorg.0.log to see why X is failing.
