Solution 1 (Not working for me) - Some users have reported that doing the following helped them:
Edit your /etc/rc.local file: sudo nano /etc/rc.local
and add the following line before the exit 0 statement:
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -pm 1
Save and reboot. This will set your video card to Persistence Mode. To see if it worked, after reboot type:
/usr/bin/nvidia-smi -q | grep -i Persistence
and if you see:
Persistence Mode : Enabled
Then you know it is Enabled
Solution 2 (Not working for me) - Some users have reported that doing the following helped them:
Edit your grub menu:
sudo nano /etc/default/grub
and in the line that says:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash"
Add to it one or all of the following kernel options:
acpi=noirq
thermal.off=1
For example if add both it should look like this:
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash acpi=noirq thermal.off=1"
Now save and type update-grub
. Then reboot.
