Can you mention what program(s) you are trying to run that cause this error message to appear? Do the programs use CUDA at all? It sounds like it may be a some sort of a driver issue: [http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-3061677/nvidia-geforce-gtx-670m-device-removable-ejected-unplugged.html](http://www.tomsguide.com/answers/id-3061677/nvidia-geforce-gtx-670m-device-removable-ejected-unplugged.html) What type of computer/server is this Tesla K80 GPU being used in? ---

Two things. 1. If you haven’t done so already, you probably need to enable Above 4G decoding setting in your BIOS. 2. Placing a fanless card like the K80 on a desktop environment is not a good idea as it will overheat once you start to actually use the card, assuming you are able to in the first place. If you insist on such a configuration, you might want to look into a custom waterloop for the card (can be expensive) or at the very least some sort of jerry-rigging like this to cool the card: [url][How to cool the nVidia Tesla K80 Cheaply - YouTube](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UcyP3ASRgBc%5B/url%5D) ---

Yes, agreed. I didn’t realize you had the K80 in a non-qualified chassis configuration. I wouldn’t suggest filing a bug for this. Instead, put the K80 in a qualified server configuration.
