Hi I have a tx2-1012nr 4gigs with the AMD dual core 2.10Ghz and I removed vista and put a clean install of windows 7 ultimate x64 on. Ever since, the computer has been extremely slow. There aren't any unnecassary programs because it was clean. The only thing that I am suspecting is the Norton Internet security 2011, which I am currently uninstalling...I'll update if this improves the speed.

Problem:

I takes about 5-6 minutes from the time I slide the on switch to when I can use the computer. (inc. login)

It takes roughly 30-45secs for itunes, windows live mail, media center/player, bb desktop software, google chrome, skype. It doesn't matter which program just takes forever. 

The CPU and Motherboard are replaced but with brand new from HP components, the computer ran swell under vista for me, contrary to the horror stories I hear from friends and read online. Could anyone help me improve the speed of my computer without sending me to download third party diagnostic tools?
