All of a sudden started having the issue after a reboot about a week ago as well, using Ubuntu 20.04.
Things i’ve tried so far:
- Upgrading Ubuntu 20.04
- Upgrading/Downgrading NVIDIA driver via run file (450.66 / 455.38 / 440.100)
- Nouveau driver is blacklisted, i tried running another initramfs to update the kernel.
I then purged everything e.g
sudo apt-get remove nvidia-* xserver-xorg-* && sudo apt-get purge nvidia-* xserver-xorg-* && sudo apt-get autoclean && sudo apt-get autoremove
Shutdown, and tested the card in a different system where it ran perfectly. Loaded it up to 100% for 2 hours and completed tasks fine. I then put the card back into my Ubuntu Server and reinstalled, this time via aptitude
sudo apt-get install dkms build-essential linux-headers-$(uname -r)
sudo nano /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
blacklist nouveau
blacklist nvidiafb
alias nouveau off
echo options nouveau modeset=0 | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/nouveau-kms.conf
sudo apt-get install nvidia-headless-450-server nvidia-utils-450-server nvidia-container-runtime nvidia-container-toolkit nvidia-docker2
Still have the same issue
