6:28 p.m.
F24 won't boot.
F23 lasts for about 6 minutes then goes back to an F24 boot terminal and needs
a cold boot.
This from Windows machine
1. Yumex not installed.
2. dnf cannot find yumex.
Question. With the update, will rpmfusion still be in my list of repos, to
get the nvidia driver? And will it point to the F24 repos? How to check please?
regards

No need to apologise, we all had to learn once.
For example I've just found out there's now a yumex-dnf so that is interesting.
OK.
Looking at what you have.....
I'd be inclined to uninstall akmod-nvidia
Then re-install kmod-nvidia-4.5.7-300 and see what happens.
Can you just confirm....
uname -a
Your kernel is 4.5.7-300,fc24
