Some programs seem to break my Win7 permanently so that the computer won't boot anymore (it freezes in the beginning where reads "Starting Windows", but the colour balls won't appear over it). Usually restore to last known working configuration works at the first time, but after the second boot, it wont work anymore, repair with recovery CD wont work, safe mode does not work, earlier restore points with recovery CD won't work, the only way to get system back working is to use a system image.
When safe mode is broken, I suspect hardware. If I had to guess, my gut would say it's your hard drive is dying or is getting corrupted. It's possible it's a virus, (works once, then is corrupted, you 're-write' the data, and next boot, it's corrupted again?) but it could be hard drive SATA cotnroller, drive, or data cable possibly too. Heck, could even be voltage problems from the power supply.

Really good experience for me so far. Almost a year soon also. Both laptop and Desktop have win 7 64 bit (home premium and the later pro). Had a few things that don't work but no deal breaker here.

I don't run my host in 64 bit though, it's all 32 bit. For compatibility reason mainly.
