I believe I've come to some sort of a solution with this issue. I noticed that the card was sharing an interrupt with the USB controller on my motherboard, and moving it to a different slot where it has its own exclusive IRQ seems to have stopped this from happening. I haven't seen anything in the kernel log since doing this and leaving the PC idle for a few hours, whereas before the log would fill with these entries. It's worth a try..
