Could you please help me to find out what is wrong with me? thanks very much !
（It was good to use RTX3080 in Ubuntu 18.04 before, but suddenly encountered this problem, thinking it was the reason for the incompatibility between the kernel and the driver version, so I reinstalled the Ubuntu 21.04 system, but you still encounter this problem.）
