What is the issue?

I am using Ollama to deploy a large model Docker service. I found that after running for a while, the Ollama service crashes. Upon entering the container to investigate, I discovered that the GPU cannot be used properly. When running the nvidia-smi command, I get the error "Failed to initialize NVML: Unknown Error". Why is this happening?
