WHAT A LOVELY DAY
What happens if you disable HyperThreading? (assuming you have it enabled here as its showing 32 logical cores)
That'll at least bring you down to 16 cores in Windows.

If it still happens, use the /numproc=1 boot switch: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/833721. You can use EasyBCD to setup two boot options so you have a normal boot, and a boot where it only uses one processor. At least it'll save you from loving around taking the lid off the case every time. http://neosmart.net/EasyBCD/.

Microsoft's documentation is unclear as to if that numproc switch is for physical or logical processors, so you might have to experiment a bit.
