Hi all,
 
I am trying to install FC4 on a HP Pavilion desktop. I have 256mb ram, 2.8ghz celeron and a 80gb hard drive. Every time I select install once the main screen shows up from the cd the computer reboots. I have tried both x86, and x86 64. The x86 64 just flat didnt work. Please help.

What exact model of HP is this?
 
Do you know what video card is in the system?
 
Did you burn the cd disks correctly? See my article located here.
 
If you did burn the iso images correctly (used a low burning speed, are using quality disks, checked the md5sum of the iso images), try typing in at the boot welcome screen via the command line;
 
linux noapci
 
Then hit the enter key, rather than just accepting the default.
 
The other option to try is;
 
linux acpi=off
