It seems reasonable that one of the programs you installed is causing the symptoms you describe. You could try uninstalling them one by one to see if that is true? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS 7 Home Pre x64, Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu 9.04 CPU AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (single core) Motherboard Foxconn NF4UK8AA Memory 2 X 1GB OCZ Platinum DDR400 Dual Channel Graphics Card PNY GeForce 7300 256MB PCIE Sound Card NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Onboard Chipset Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Acer AL1716 Screen Resolution 1280 x 1024 PSU Antec Earthwatts EA-430D Hard Drives Maxtor 6Y060L0, WD 1600JS Internet Speed 3M Cable Other Info Windows Experience Index: 3.3 |

Although Speccy claims it is in Beta, there are no problems with it. I use it often, and recommend it to many people, and nobody has reported an issue.
It is entirely your option, though. If you want to get the information yourself, you can run msinfo32 from the start menu.

If you suffer performance problems as a result of removing Tune-up Utilities, I would then suggest you start a new thread here at 7 Forums, in the Performance & Maintenance - Windows 7 Forums section for example, and describe your performance problems and let us diagnose them? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS 7 Home Pre x64, Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu 9.04 CPU AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (single core) Motherboard Foxconn NF4UK8AA Memory 2 X 1GB OCZ Platinum DDR400 Dual Channel Graphics Card PNY GeForce 7300 256MB PCIE Sound Card NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Onboard Chipset Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Acer AL1716 Screen Resolution 1280 x 1024 PSU Antec Earthwatts EA-430D Hard Drives Maxtor 6Y060L0, WD 1600JS Internet Speed 3M Cable Other Info Windows Experience Index: 3.3 |

Remove the other new programs one by one to discover if one of them is the cause? | My System Specs | | System Manufacturer/Model Number Custom OS 7 Home Pre x64, Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu 9.04 CPU AMD Athlon 64 3400+ (single core) Motherboard Foxconn NF4UK8AA Memory 2 X 1GB OCZ Platinum DDR400 Dual Channel Graphics Card PNY GeForce 7300 256MB PCIE Sound Card NVIDIA nForce4 Ultra Onboard Chipset Monitor(s) Displays 2 x Acer AL1716 Screen Resolution 1280 x 1024 PSU Antec Earthwatts EA-430D Hard Drives Maxtor 6Y060L0, WD 1600JS Internet Speed 3M Cable Other Info Windows Experience Index: 3.3 |

2) It is not possible to get a screen shot during boot, so you will need to pay attention and make note of the messages, lines of code, whatever so we can have a better understanding of what is happening.
See you Wednesday!!
Cheers!
