I don't think that this is the issue as I have a Nvidia 6600GT and FC6
supports it just fine.

It could be that your machines power management is interfering with
the install process 'somehow', what usually works best "as I too with
my card have had such a problem" is when your distroe boots up and
lists a number of options before you hit enter to install, try first
to install the system on text mode = linux text, if this still has
issues try: linux noapic acpi=off or just linux noapic. This has
usually worked just fine with me on more than just one series of
Nvidia cards.
