Fedora19 Continuously rebooting at boot menu

OK I'm new to Linux. I run it on a Raspberry Pi, but now I want something faster.

I built a solid-state PC out of an Atom-processor-based mini-ITX board with 4GB RAM, an SSD, and a USB stick to boot from. I just burned a copy of Fedora19 onto the stick, but the rig keeps restarting Fedora's boot menu. It shows a menu that says, "Fedora Live", "Run Fedora From USB", and "Troubleshooting". The Troubleshooting menu shows a menu that doesn't seem to actually do anything. The memory test option shows an explanation of what it does, but when I hit enter the screen just refreshes.

What am I doing wrong here?

How did you write the image to your USB stick?

I used the universal USB-Installer v 1.9.3.9

I'm not sure why this is failing, but clearly, the USB stick hasn't been imaged with Fedora properly. I recommend that you follow the instructions here:
