Definitely a 64 bit CPU.  I'm currently using F10 64.

I'm not even getting to the splash screen.  I can hear the CD spinning but
I'm getting nothing on the display.  Normally, when all is working fine, the
power light is blue.  When the computer is off but the monitor is on, the
light is red.

I'll start a download of the DVD and check that out tomorrow after work.
