Hi,
I am recently installed 4070 GPU and it was woking before but then the driver is not loading anymore nvidia-smi is giving error as.
❯ nvidia-smi
NVIDIA-SMI has failed because it couldn’t communicate with the NVIDIA driver. Make sure that the latest NVIDIA driver is installed and running.
I have driver nvidia-driver-555 installed with ubuntu-drivers devices.
Searched internet, tried to install different versions of driver again after purging the driver, but it is not running.
