Hum, I have the same mobo as you, and also can't boot on FC3...
actually the system can't boot on any kernel later than 2.6.5...
I get an error message regarding powernowk8, during the kernel
initialization, and, when trying to start X ("the graphical/window
system"), the screen locks up displaying a weird picture that
resembles my wallpaper, locking up the system, but the mouse still
works...

Can you list your BIOS confirgurations (are you running with Cool and
Quiet enabled?? ACPI 2.0??)?? Maybe this could help me...
Have you checked the system logs?? Take a look at the
/var/log/messages file and also the X.org log, under
/var/log/Xorg.0.log; the error might by listed in there...
