I am also experiencing the EXACT same problem with i7 930. My videocard: VGA 
compatible controller: S3 Inc. 86c375 [ViRGE/DX] or 86c385 [ViRGE/GX] (rev 01) 
(veeeeeery old crap), I don't need any video, was using that videocard just to 
have the computer start... random high kernel cpu usages, ~3-5 minutes, 
"interrupt 0 (IR-IO-APIC-edge timer) stays frozen until the problem goes away. 
No messages appear on dmesg or in /var/log/kern.log"
There is no sound/video usage, so it might not be directly related to them
