Frequent NVIDIA drivers reinstall needed on boot

Hi. I have a couple of Compute Engine instances that make use of a GPU and were provisioned with the Deep Learning ML images. They work fine most of the time.

But sometimes, after restart, the NVIDIA drivers won't load. And I must manually reinstall them following the usual instructions. Now, reinstalling them always fixes the problem. But the challenge is that I cannot automate the boot the start-stop of the machine, because every time I boot it up is a lottery. I never know when is it gonna fail.

  • Did any of you experience a similar issue?
  • Is there away to make this problem go away?

Thanks.
