I had similar problems with an HP Pavilion desktop machine. Turned out I had to install drivers for the video hardware (in my case, Nvidia GeForce220 integrated GPU). I got the drivers from the Nvidia website. Had to install from source rpm's, because I had already upgraded my kernel. But it worked. Hope this is helpful.
