I assume you installed the guest additions.
You need to attach the VBox.log for your W7 guest.
Right click the VM in the VirtualBoxGUI. Select "Show Log". Save "VBox.log" to a file. Compress that file and attach it to a message here. Make sure the VM is fully shut down beforehand.

But I can tell you one problem you have is assigning 4 processors to your guest. Try 2.
