CentOS 7 Live GNOME cd & usb problems

My intuition is that there are hardware incompatibilities that there isn't anything I can about.

I do want to satisfy my curiosity though.

I downloaded an ISO of CentOS 7 live GNOME.

I made a USB stick of the image. I tried it on my very new, advanced computer at home. I got to the desktop. I got a kernel error message, then it froze.

I tried again with an old machine at work, both with the USB stick and with the ISO made into a live DVD. Both times the boot process stopped cold at

[OK] Started Update UTMP about System Runlevel Changes

Any ideas what this was about?
