7.0 just came out of beta and still has bugs to find. Using 6.1 is a good workaround if it was working well before.

I can validate that using the 6.1.42 Guest Additions resolves the aforementioned problem of Windows 11 freezing/rebooting under Vbox 7.0x. After downgrading the 7.0x guest additions, all issues have been resolved, and Windows 11 boots and runs reliably on a Linux Mint 21.1 host.

For problems with 7.0 graphics or seize-ups when 3D is on:
7.0 is still in bug-hunt phase, and graphics had a code change.
Please upgrade to the most recent 7.0.X Virtualbox, Extension Pack if used, and Guest Additions.
If this does not get a stable VM, and you have 3D acceleration turned on, try running the VM with 3D acceleration turned off. If that stabilizes the VM, please note that this happened.
Please create a ticket in the Bugtracker with the problem description, the manufacturer and model of the host PC's graphics card, the graphics driver version (on the host OS), and a (zipped) VBox.log file.
If your host OS is Linux, please provide a zip file with the output of the 'vulkaninfo' command in the Bugtracker ticket, too. (on Debian/Ubuntu/Mint hosts, you may have to install the vulkan-tools package).
Then you could downgrade Virtualbox, Extension Pack and Guest Additions to the latest 6.1.X, or at least the Guest Additions. 3D acceleration won't be possible if you only downgrade the GAs. For full 3D acceleration using the old stable code, downgrade all three.
