where was F17 unstable?

Different environment, different experiences. My work desktop, running an up to date F17, hangs solid pretty regularly (once a day or so), to the point where even magic sysrq doesn't respond and I need to confiscate its power to get it restarted. Hell, the F17 installer won't even boot on it, and it's not as if it's some obscure home built machine - it's a Dell. My home desktop, also on F17, is slightly better but still problematic. I can't print from it, for example. SlowKeys randomly turn on for both machines. Not insurmountable (once you've worked out what the problem is), but it shouldn't be doing that out of the box. I've had numerous other problems on both machines. F17 hasn't quite pushed me to another distribution, but it's close. I suspect if F18 is as bad, I'll finally jump ship.
sounds like desktop and/or hardware related
