Re: system crash

When your system comes up into grub, press e to edit the config. Remove 
the /rhgb from the kernel line and add "nogui" without the quotes to 
that line. Press return to save that line change and b to boot from that 
temporary edit.
I had the same issue and this process worked for me. Since this happened 
late last night for me, I have not had time to figure out what is happening.
