When I installed Fedora 40 (I think, it's 40), I couldn't get the usual installation ISOs to work. I had to use the server spin, I believe it used a different bootloading method. I installed a non-graphical system, afterwards installing a graphical desktop. Though the rest of your problems suggest it's the hardware. You might try replacing the CMOS battery. If it's going flat various motherboards go haywire. Many don't alternatively power the chips from its main power supply when the PC is running, the battery is always supplying something. -- uname -rsvp Linux 3.10.0-1160.119.1.el7.x86_64 #1 SMP Tue Jun 4 14:43:51 UTC 2024 x86_64 Boilerplate: All unexpected mail to my mailbox is automatically deleted.
