imho, it's not Fedora's fault or your's either. In the event that you
used the wrong sync rates, most monitors since three or so years ago
will present a screen asking you to lower or whatever your rates. Mine
flashes a red warning box, and states that it cannot handle the rates.

it might have been old hardware maybe? or perhaps magic smoke wanted out
:(

After the installation i was prompted to reboot, the graphical boot-up was nice, i was prompted to create a regular user and all those post install stuff. Then I logged in, saw the GNOME start up. I was begining to navigate the menus when the monitor's view shrunk, then kapooooffff!!!! Then I smelled some burned plastic/stuff coming from my monitor.
