After 10.7.4 update my macbook pro doesn't boot

On safe mode i can boot but the computer shut down automatically after 3 minute !

When the problem occurs I use Software Update to get 10.7.4.


-

With HD recovery i re-install Lion, after 3 hours all is OK (directtly on 10.7.4) - i just need apply some other update (via Software Update : iTunes, Java...).


I lose nothing except my firewall setting and i can't get back the colorfull sidebar during a session.


I thing it must be nice to always use the combo update rather the Software Update for a OS update !
