2080Ti got ERR soon after starting DL training

My 2080Ti got ERR in the “nvidia-smi” status soon after starting DL training.
Sometime the first one, and at the other time second one.

Do you think this comes from the Micron GDDR6 VRAM issue ?

I’m using the latest driver, CUDA10 and CUDNN 7.4.2 with Pytorch and Keras with Tensorflow-backend.

Thanks for the comment.

I ran gpu-burn.

I checked four 2080ti of mine one by one.

In addition, I added nvidia-bug-report.sh.gz to this thread.
(The first and second logs were recorded under the two-GPU setting, and the third one was recorded after
booting with only No.4 GPU.)

I hope this information helps investigate the causes of the GPU problem.

That doesn’t look good. The fourth, missing card is falling off the bus with an XID 79 though, meaning either overheating or insufficient power supply. Since the temperatures look normal, maybe also the flakeyness of the other gpus comes from an unstable power source, not taking prolonged high power draw, idk. Of course, there’s also the chance of having 4 duds out of 4. So before filling out an RMA form, you should check them one by one in another system with a large enough and stable power supply.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I will check them one by one next week using the system with the CORSAIR 1600W power supply which is expected
to be the most stable one among the power supplies I have.

What’s the brand of the psu in your current system?

It is Cooler Master 1200V Platinum.

I bought this two years ago, and have used this system intensively
with dual TITAN-X (Pascal).

On the other hand, the CORSAIR 1600W is the psu I bought last month,
which must be more stable.

Haven’t heard about any specific issue with that one, so happy testing.

I have just check them with CORSAIR 1600W one by one.

The results were the same. In fact, the situation got worse, probably because of the GPU BURN test.
One more 2080Ti got error during booting.

2080Ti No.1 → error over 67C when the GPU BURN is running
2080Ti No.2 → error during booting
2080Ti No.3 → error over 70C when the GPU BURN is running
2080Ti No.4 → error during booting

2 2080ti got unrecognized (I mean the error happened in the booting process.) as follows:

Then it’s time to RMA them, they’re obviously degrading more and more. Four out of four must have really been a bad batch. How long did you use them?

I just used them several days in fact. At the first use for training a deep learning model with Pytorch and CUDNN, one of the 2080Ti got lost during training. After that, I tried training several times after removing the lost GPUs. But the results were the same. The other one got lost as well.

Besides NVIDIA reference model of the 2080Tis, I have two MSI RTX 2080Ti as well. They have no problem at all. They are working well.

“Generix”, thank you for the helpful suggestions and advices. I really appreciate your help.

I have this problem too, and I have 4 of 6 2080Tis got ERR then DAMAGED(cannot open PC at all).
