RTX 2080ti driver crashing randomly with or without load ERR! 39C PERR! / 250W

You’re always getting this shortly after boot:

Jan 28 15:53:30 aerovision-Z390-AORUS-ELITE kernel: NVRM: Xid (PCI:0000:01:00): 61, pid=2743, 0d20(31f0) 0500a3db 2f1327a6

There’s a known problem

(try setting clocks

sudo nvidia-smi -lgc 1000,2145

)
but since this is happening always instantly after boot, this might also be a general hardware problem (defective gpu).
