I tried the suggestion but the screen was stuck at the same message.

I can't say as when 16 was released I installed it on my PC and it 
worked for almost a week. Once the error came, it was belived Fedora 
Utils caused it. I reformatted and did not install Fedora Utils, still 
it was stuck after second reboot.

I can do a fresh install once again if that may help.

I am not giving up but since I can't even boot into the system I can't 
do anything for my work and have to use openSUSE for my work -- which I 
am happy with, but need Fedora for my articles.

I understand, I will keep it posted.

As I stated above, it worked fine with Nvidia drives for a week.

Yes. This is where the screen is stuck and I can't boot into system.
