FYI .. 'solved'.
After a few more tests on that win7 box w/ Linux
no hardware failure has been found.
Hence I reformatted the harddisk and installed win7 from scratch
and the machine works again.
For sure, this is a very sad & annoying issue
and I don't know what caused this (a Windows or driver update).
For sure, I didn't do anything else experimental w/ that machine
which exist solely for jogamp testing.
