Ok, I think the issue caused by your VGA card driver. A quote from Windows 7 Beta known issues document: Video drivers Systems which use XDDM drivers may completely stop responding in certain scenarios. The computer will not respond to CTRL+ALT+DELETE and you will have to cycle the power to restart the computer, with the attendant risk of loss of unsaved data. Some activities which have been demonstrated to trigger this issue include, but are not limited to: Using Winsat.exe or using the Rate and improve your computers performance tool. Changing multimonitor configurations DVD or other video playback To avoid this, do not use Windows XP Device Driver Model (XDDM) drivers, but find an appropriate Windows Display Driver Model (WDDM) driver instead. If your video chipset does not have a WDDM driver (such as the Intel 915), use a VGA driver or an graphics processing unit (GPU) that supports WDDM drivers. If this issue occurs at setup, either avoid unattended setup or uninstall the XDDM driver and use a VGA driver until setup is complete. Microsoft MVP - Group Policy
