Fedora 22 continuously rebooting

[Armelius Cameron]

Sorry for my lag in response, in between work meetings with
non-working laptop has made this an onerous day!

So I've tried the following kernel options, all to no-avail:
"systemd.unit=multi-user.target", still reboot after a few seconds, so
does this option remove video driver issue (radeon) ?
"acpi=off" or "noapic", kernel won't boot at all

Scrolling through the journal the only thing that caught my eyes is
the message "watchdog1 watchdog did not step". Searching on the web,
this caught my attention
(https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/watchdog/watchdog-api.txt):
"A Watchdog Timer (WDT) is a hardware circuit that can reset the
computer system in case of a software fault.", which makes me go
"hm... does the kernel think it needs reboot all the time"

So I tried modifying the timeout in /etc/systemd/system.conf, but that
doesn't seem to have any effect either.

Thanks,
AC
