A6000 is not recognized by nvidia-smi

It was fine but stopped working after turning the server off.
When I replaced A6000 with GTX1060, GTX1060 was recognized by nvidia-smi.

I have no idea what to do anymore.

[  362.723310] NVRM: GPU 0000:41:00.0: Failed to copy vbios to system memory.

Please check whether this is a driver bug by downgrading to driver v470. If that doesn’t help, this seems to be defective hardware.

Thank you I’ll try and see if that works.
