24. High CPU utilization may occur when installing or running Microsoft
Windows Server 2008* R2 or Microsoft Windows 7* with default NIC
driver
Problem There has been high CPU load observed when installing or running Microsoft
Windows Server 2008* R2 or Microsoft Windows 7* with default NIC (Network
Interface Card) driver.
Implication
When the ports are not electrically "linked" and the embedded driver is loadedthe DPC rate steadily increases until the system slows to the point where it is
essentially unusable.
Status This issue may be fixed in a future Microsoft Windows Server 2008* R2 or
Microsoft windows 7* update.
Workaround Make sure the ports are connected to a network, switch or simply back-to-back.
This need to be done at least prior to the driver loading because once the port
is malfunctioning, it cannot be recovered by connecting the ports. Updating to
the latest posted driver resolves the problem. The latest NIC driver 14.6 can be
obtained at below webpage.

Voordat je het OS installeert moet je dus je NIC verbinden met een op de elektriciteit aangesloten switch of het Internet, proberen zou ik zeggen. Je moet terug van 0 starten met een setup. Tijdens de setup moet dat al gedaan zijn.
Hopelijk correcte driver voor Win7 zou je vinden op
