What video card do you have in the problem machine? 

Try the section for your video card from: 

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Common_F11_bugs#Hardware-related_issues

and see if any of those help?

I wonder if it could be the cd reader on that machine as well? 
Do you have a usb key? You could put the live on the usb and boot from
it if so to rule that out.
