Updating here that it has been about 12 hours since identifying the faulty RAM, all reboots have been working fine since and the drivers are persisting. In case anyone else runs into issues like mine, run a memtest because i was getting all sorts of unexplained weirdness with reboots prior to removing the faulty stick

I believe I may have narrowed the issue down to some failing RAM in the system, I will have to verify for sure, but for now I believe that is the most likely culprit

Noted, I am not sure it is a fresh usb that unraid creation tool formatted so I definitely didnt add anything. To be sure I got a new sandisc cruzer fit usb 2.0 device. I used unraid tool to create another fresh usb on the latest unraid OS version. This time I cannot get the plugin to install at all, it keeps throwing a checksum error no matter how many times I reboot and try again. The current diagnostics are also attached. This is the fourth USB I have used and this is another new one so I really dont know why they would all be failing, that doesnt seem very likely to me. I appreciate you taking the time to help. tower-diagnostics-20260107-1707.zip

Thank you for the reply! Linked here are the diagnostics from my server. I have tried on three different USB sticks so far, two of those being new unused sticks. I currently am using a Kingston 32GB High-Speed DTSE9G2 USB. Although based on all the craziness it wouldn't hurt to try another new one I can probably grab one from the store to be sure.

Hi, I am having issues with my Unraid server and this plugin, I have been attempting to install these new drivers on a new unraid box for days and posting here is my last hope. Context: - I was having issues with my old box, the best option for me was to start with a fresh usb and docker configs - Created a new OS with the latest version and setup the array from scratch, first and only priority to get the NVIDIA drivers working and then build up from there - I have ran my old box (6.12 something) for years with the driver and it works fine, RTX 2070 for transcoding plex mainly- I know this hardware setup works Since then, I have had absolutely no luck getting these drivers to stick- its always something. On a fresh install I can get the plugin and driver installed just fine, nvidia-smi works, i can get plex setup and transcoding works beautifully, everyone is happy. I may even restart the box once or twice, and everything sticks and is fine. However no matter what, eventually, maybe on the first reboot, maybe the second or third, they randomly disappear (ERROR: No drivers found!), nvidia-smi is dead, nothing works anymore. I will go to try and re-download the driver, or even another version of the driver maybe, half of the time I get a checksum error, the other half it will download and install again, and on reboot, maybe it works ? but usually it doesnt. and if it does work, its rinse and repeat again on subsequent reboots, it just never sticks. Currently im on unraid version 7.1.4 because it seems to work some of the time here, on the latest version i dont think I ever got it to work once (which is why I started trying previous OS versions). I am just not sure anymore because nothing makes sense. I have tried setting different BIOS settings, ive updated my BIOS to the latest version. Ive tried blacklisting nouveau, i just dont know what to do at this point. USB is new and a good reputable brand, tested it multiple times, also tested on another second brand new usb. Unfortunately it seems either something is very broken with my system or I am seriously inept at server administration, Ive just never had this many issues before and I am very close to just ditching unraid altogether and using another OS. If any other information would help I can provide that, I would definitely appreciate any help because I am at the end of my rope here!
