After installing Fedora 13 and restarting your PC, some may experience the computer to hang at a blank/black screen right after the Fedora boot logo restricting access to text mode or a command line. Briefly, this is caused by a bug that is associated with some Nvidia graphic cards.
From experience, one method I've used to resolve Fedora 13 from hanging after a fresh install is to --> verify that only 1 video cable is plugged in the GPU(s). This applies to those who have a multiple monitor/GPU setup where you have 2 or more DVI,VGA,or HDMI cables connected to one or more GPUs.
Once you have unplugged the extra video cables except for one, and have restarted the PC, you can now get passed the Fedora boot logo without freezing. You can also install the necessary graphic card drivers and your PC will boot correctly with multiple video cables plugged in.
