Anyone else see host machine lockups?

The problem occurs when trying to perform cold reset on target device
which sometimes leads to voltage drops/spikes which in turn breaks
PCI-E link. Some host controllers apparently can't deal with it and
hang the whole machine (e.g. Thinkpad T430), while others just lose
connectivity with the device and need re-plugging (e.g. Dell E6420) or
display a splat and need to be restarted before given PCI-E slot can
be used again (e.g. AP135's "Data bus error").
