I can't remember having seen these TLP error messages with older
kernels. 5.17 still works fine with this card.

I will try to put the card into another slot tomorrow.

The connectors are fine, the displays are connected via miniDP on the
GPU and DP on the display side. On the other hand my monitors do not
seem to have the highest quality. Occassionally the resolution is
wrongly detected or DP signal is lost. I am not sure why, I suspect
there is some interference between the two DP cables. But this is a
problem for as long as I have these two monitors, the NULL-ptr deref
only happens with v5.18.
