Have you tried SAFE MODE at boot?
What USB devices do you use?
Tried disabling USB in BIOS?
Tried 7.1BETA2?
Have you checked MD5 checksum on your downloaded ISO?

In Safe Mode FreeBSD work.
How can i check MD5 checksum?

Like that mate:
vermaden ~ % md5 freebsd.iso
MD5 (freebsd.iso) = e07910a06a086c83ba41827aa00b26ed

What does operating system support the command MD5?

It's bundled with FreeBSD, and I would guess it's also installed on the other BSDs, MacOS X, and most linux distros - and if not, it's probably available. On windows, Microsoft have this (http://support.microsoft.com/kb/841290) command line utility, but there's also GUI tools, like (random example, I haven't tested it) this (http://www.md5summer.org/).

And for completeness sake: What you want to do with the checksum you get is to compare it to the one in the relevant CHECKSUM.MD5 file. If you follow the [ISO] - links from the download (http://www.freebsd.org/where.html) page, there will be a file called that in the same directory as the iso images, containing the checksums for the different images.

in Linux try command md5sum

What is it?

Try to boot with acpi disabled - but not from safe mode.
Looks like atapicd may work better if dma is enabled.
