And it carries on working after that? In Linux, try doing an lspci -vxxx 
before and after you get into the repeating event state. It's quite 
likely that there'll be a bit difference in the southbridge state.

(Of course, it's possible that there is a bug in the Linux 
implementation - but it's probably more likely to be BIOS breakage)
