Thanks Neal for the very sensible idea, but I think I've ruled that out as this problem has occurred on two completely different computers (same chipset though). If the computers both have an identical design flaw, that seems possible, but the far more likely situation seems to me that the Flex is the side with the issue at this point.
Currently this machine is running Windows 7, with the high performance power profile, so I'm not really sure what further I can do.
