Just to make sure the scenario is clear (not that I'm going to be of much help)

-- 2 identical machines (including BIOS settings?) 

-- they used to work perfectly until KVM/Windows 7? No issues at all

-- Ever since KVM/Windows 7 they "hang" periodically.  How much time between 
hangs? 

-- BOTH machines exhibit the exact same behavior ? 

Good luck and let us know what you find out!  I've been running a Windows 7 VM 
for 3 weeks w/o any issues (on a Dell c2200 granted) FWIW
