Nvidia driver fails to load at random times - Occurs on system boot, a simple restart fixes it

Hi , since couple of weeks i’m using 5.9 kernel series with 455.45.01 driver which offers kernel 5.9 support. However at completely random times ( sometimes it goes without issues at consecutive system boots ) but usually at every 2 of system boots it fails to load itself. A simple restart to system fixes it.

I gathered dmesg outputs and nvidia bug reports from both situations ( failed to load vs succesfully loaded)

dmesg-doesn’t load.txt (78.3 KB) dmesg-succesful load.txt (78.7 KB) nvidia-bug-report.-loaded successfully.log.gz (291.9 KB) nvidia-bug-report-failed to load.log.gz (253.9 KB)

The driver loads in both cases, just a little bit late. It seems, the driver has not been properly embedded in the initrd. Already tried to rebuild it?
sudo update-initramfs -u

While i’m sure that is not the issue i tried it anyway , no luck. Still randomly fails to load driver at boot , sometimes goes without an issue like 5 days then fails at two days in a row.
