with my windows 7 32 bit and the same things happen, only that the vm froze after the windows 7 logo loads leaving me with a blank screen.
It worked fine until I loaded the (from menu) Devices -> Insert Guest additions CD and loaded it.
When it restart, it gave the issues above.
Am open to suggestions.
Just a note - my xp, linux umbuntu, works just fine on the machine,
So the windows 7 I need so help with, thanks.

Thread split from "[Resolved] Virtual Box freeze installing any guest OS" and moved to "Windows Guests", that's where the problem is.
@focusonit,
Please don't hijack another thread, especially one that's marked as [Resolved], especially if it not the same issue. It's easy enough to create you own, personal thread...
We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:

We need to see a complete VBox.log, from a complete VM run:
- Start the VM from cold-boot (not from a paused or saved state) / Observe problem / Shutdown the VM (force close it if you have to).
- With the VM completely shut down (not paused or saved), right-click on the VM in the VirtualBox Manager and select "Show Log".
- Save only the first "VBox.log", ZIP it and attach it to your response. See the "Upload attachment" tab below the reply form.
