Diagnosing drivers + boots in Windows 7?

[Coldblackice]

Is there a way to go about diagnosing both drivers and boots in Windows 7?

Ideally, I'd like to find a programmatic way to find if/what drivers are being resource hogs, lagging, freezing, causing problems, etc., without having to mass uninstall or disable.

As for boots, I remember coming across a tool once that could basically "watch" the entire boot process and report on which drivers/processes/tasks were taking the longest, among other information.

As for drivers, maybe something like Process Explorer can help.

Ah, this was what I was thinking about. Thanks.
