Ah, you didn't mention Windows was on there and working fine. In which 
case - could be the disk. I'd still check the memory - did it previously 
work fine and it's suddenly started failing, or have you just installed 
Fedora?

It could be the file system is trashed for whatever reason - I wouldn't 
try and boot it again if thats the case. I'd use Knoppix and copy off 
anything you might want before you try and fsck the filesystem again.
