The re-install of an older NVIDIA driver seems to have done the trick... We're over 96 hours with no hiccups in operation, so we'll call this one "resolved." What was wrong with the driver/hardware combo? No idea. Why did a previous version of the driver work, and a newer version not work?...

...so after a couple more times with one or both GPUs "Failed," I scuttled the current NVIDIA driver 555.99 and re-installed a much older driver 472.12 (It was the only one I could find) and after 36 hours, things are folding along quite nicely. What prompted me to do that? It was about th...

PPS -- Drivers -- all off the NVIDIA site (always). I think it's 555.xx which is current.

Following this thread with interest...

I'm seeing the identical issue on an older Intel Quad core 6600 + GTX 750 running Ubuntu 22.04.
I'm wondering if the hardware combo is just plain too old.

Anybody else?
