Did you follow these steps to get a perfect clean reinstall: Reinstalling Windows 7?
Did you change out any drivers given by the installer or quickly updated via optional Windows Updates? I would not change them unless the performance problems point to a driver causing the problem, then start with importing manufacturer's chipset.
Use the logs and System resources to troubleshoot the problem: troubleshooting steps
Test your HD as suggested using the CD theog linked below.
Test your RAM thoroughly with memtest86 CD test for 5-6 passes or overnight: RAM - Test with Memtest86+
Hangs like this are not common with Win7 so if this has happened on two separate computers then I would consider starting over to follow the steps to get a perfect reinstall so you have a known-good install baseline to work from, then use the troubleshooting steps if necessary.
