What is the issue?

unsing RTX4090 24GB, 128G RAM

qwen3.5-27B_q4_K_M was success run in 0.17.1-rc2 ;
but when pull the newly version of qwen3.5-35B and qwen3.5:122b-a10b, the ollama failed.

Error: 500 Internal Server Error: model runner has unexpectedly stopped, this may be due to resource limitations or an internal error, check ollama server logs for details

instresting imformations: cmd run: ollama run qwen3.5:122b-a10b (or qwen3.5:35b), when input the question words<29 chinese characters, it runs. when input question words>30 chinese characters, it failed.

Im not very experienced with this but have you tried decreasing the amount of layers you offload to GPU? The crash is occuring due to your GPU running out of memory.

Try decreasing layer offload to 34-35 (which is still pretty close to the edge) and if that doesnt work try lowering it even further

ollama官网就有q4km的版本。https://ollama.com/library/qwen3.5:27b-q4_K_M
unsloth提供的q4km的我也安装过，运行不了。

How to offload layer using ollama? I just used the command "ollama run +model".
I tryed different version:
the 0.17.1-rc1 can run qwen3.5-35b，but fail in run qwen3.5-27b.
the 0.17.1-rc2 can run qwen3.5-27b，but fail in run qwen3.5-35b.

If you want it for just current session:

set OLLAMA_NUM_GPU_LAYERS=35
ollama run modelname

If you want it permanent:
Open Windows Start
Search Environment Variables
Add a new user variable:
Name: OLLAMA_NUM_GPU_LAYERS
Value: 35
Restart terminal after.

Same problem. The runner hangs; only after pressing Ctrl+C does the log file, which is then displayed full in 1second, suddenly fill up. As you can see, Ollama falls back on CPU resources. Cause: Runner hangs.

The problem is a hung runner and a stuck process. From this point on, the bug occurs where the protocol hangs and, invisibly in the background, opens a CPU instance. This results in a CPU fallback. Bug: Hang runner, then protocol hang!

Win11 RTX3090TI

This is what's happening to you right now (the bug sequence):

The blind flight: Ollama is trying to "discover" (detect) the GPU. Due to your PCIe 3.0 connection or a driver hang (HAGS!), the GPU isn't responding in time.

The protocol jam: The runner starts in the background (invisibly), but the standard output stream (the protocol you see) is blocked by the system. Windows is holding the text output in RAM because the process is stuck in "I/O wait."

The "dam break" (Ctrl+C): When you press Ctrl+C, Windows sends an interrupt signal. This briefly breaks the kernel's blocking state. At this moment, the system "spits out" the entire accumulated protocol in one millisecond.

The CPU fallback: Because the GPU discovery process timed out, Ollama says: "Okay, the GPU is probably broken or not responding, I'll use the CPU now." That's why your processor is overheating, even though you have a 3090 Ti in your computer.

bug in the communication between the Ollama server and its runner.

What you're seeing (the "dam break" after Ctrl+C) isn't a hardware defect, but a failure of inter-process communication (IPC) under Windows.

Why it's a software bug:

The deadlock in the pipe buffer: Ollama (the server) starts the runner (ollama_llama_server.exe) and opens a "pipe" (a channel) to read the log data. If the runner encounters a problem (e.g., a brief stutter in the graphics driver), it fills the buffer of this pipe with error messages or status updates. If the server doesn't "pull" this data quickly enough, the runner completely freezes because it can't get rid of its logs.

The deadlock in the pipe buffer: Ollama (the server) starts the runner (ollama_llama_server.exe) and opens a "pipe" (a channel) to read the log data. The Ctrl+C effect: By pressing Ctrl+C, you send a signal to the process tree. This breaks the pipe's blockage state. Only then does the accumulated data flow through in one go. This is a classic sign of poor buffering in the software.

The incorrect fallback: Instead of cleanly reporting the error ("GPU not responding in time"), the runner chokes. The server then thinks: "Oh, the runner isn't responding on port 54891, so I'll just try again—this time on the CPU, just to be safe." This is a poor error-handling logic in Ollama's code.

so what happen after STRGC

This clearly shows that it is an ollama bug.

Debugging Steps for Developers

Provide them with this list of steps to reproduce or further analyze the bug:

Pipe Buffer Monitoring: They should check if the runner's stdout/stderr pipe buffer overflows under Windows (Win32 pipes) when GPU discovery takes longer than the DiscoveryTimeout.

Race Condition Check: Analyze the startup sequencer in gpu/gpu_windows.go. If discovery times out, the runner thread appears to enter an infinite wait state instead of terminating cleanly.

Increase Verbosity: They should provide the command for a debug build:

Ideally, the process should be terminated after being queried, and only then should a clean retry be performed. However, the server is starting a new process that then uses CPU resources and is also invisible in the log.

The runner hangs; only after pressing Ctrl+C does the log file, which is then displayed full in 1second, suddenly fill up. As you can see, Ollama falls back on CPU resources. Cause: Runner hangs. The problem is a hung runner and a stuck process. From this point on, the bug occurs where the protocol hangs and, invisibly in the background, opens a CPU instance. This results in a CPU fallback. Bug: Hang runner, then protocol hang! Win11 RTX3090TI This is what's happening to you right now (the bug sequence): The blind flight: Ollama is trying to "discover" (detect) the GPU. Due to your PCIe 3.0 connection or a driver hang (HAGS!), the GPU isn't responding in time. The protocol jam: The runner starts in the background (invisibly), but the standard output stream (the protocol you see) is blocked by the system. Windows is holding the text output in RAM because the process is stuck in "I/O wait." The "dam break" (Ctrl+C): When you press Ctrl+C, Windows sends an interrupt signal. This briefly breaks the kernel's blocking state. At this moment, the system "spits out" the entire accumulated protocol in one millisecond. The CPU fallback: Because the GPU discovery process timed out, Ollama says: "Okay, the GPU is probably broken or not responding, I'll use the CPU now." That's why your processor is overheating, even though you have a 3090 Ti in your computer. bug in the communication between the Ollama server and its runner. What you're seeing (the "dam break" after Ctrl+C) isn't a hardware defect, but a failure of inter-process communication (IPC) under Windows. Why it's a software bug: The deadlock in the pipe buffer: Ollama (the server) starts the runner (ollama_llama_server.exe) and opens a "pipe" (a channel) to read the log data. If the runner encounters a problem (e.g., a brief stutter in the graphics driver), it fills the buffer of this pipe with error messages or status updates. If the server doesn't "pull" this data quickly enough, the runner completely freezes because it can't get rid of its logs. The deadlock in the pipe buffer: Ollama (the server) starts the runner (ollama_llama_server.exe) and opens a "pipe" (a channel) to read the log data. The Ctrl+C effect: By pressing Ctrl+C, you send a signal to the process tree. This breaks the pipe's blockage state. Only then does the accumulated data flow through in one go. This is a classic sign of poor buffering in the software. The incorrect fallback: Instead of cleanly reporting the error ("GPU not responding in time"), the runner chokes. The server then thinks: "Oh, the runner isn't responding on port 54891, so I'll just try again—this time on the CPU, just to be safe." This is a poor error-handling logic in Ollama's code. so what happen after STRGC time=2026-03-24T20:01:17.413+01:00 level=INFO source=ggml.go:136 msg="" architecture=qwen35 file_type=Q4_K_M name="" description="" num_tensors=1307 num_key_values=53 load_backend: loaded CPU backend from C:\Users\LukaszRT\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\lib\ollama\ggml-cpu-sandybridge.dll ggml_cuda_init: GGML_CUDA_FORCE_MMQ: no ggml_cuda_init: GGML_CUDA_FORCE_CUBLAS: no ggml_cuda_init: found 1 CUDA devices: Device 0: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090, compute capability 8.6, VMM: yes, ID: GPU-c1adeb78-275d-685f-cafa-6946de43bfb7 load_backend: loaded CUDA backend from C:\Users\LukaszRT\AppData\Local\Programs\Ollama\lib\ollama\cuda_v13\ggml-cuda.dll time=2026-03-24T20:01:17.512+01:00 level=INFO source=ggml.go:104 msg=system CPU.0.SSE3=1 CPU.0.SSSE3=1 CPU.0.AVX=1 CPU.0.LLAMAFILE=1 CPU.1.LLAMAFILE=1 CUDA.0.ARCHS=750,800,860,870,890,900,1000,1030,1100,1200,1210 CUDA.0.USE_GRAPHS=1 CUDA.0.PEER_MAX_BATCH_SIZE=128 compiler=cgo(clang) time=2026-03-24T20:01:18.831+01:00 level=INFO source=runner.go:1284 msg=load request="{Operation:alloc LoraPath:[] Parallel:1 BatchSize:512 FlashAttention:Enabled KvSize:16384 KvCacheType: NumThreads:4 GPULayers:65[ID:GPU-c1adeb78-275d-685f-cafa-6946de43bfb7 Layers:65(0..64)] MultiUserCache:false ProjectorPath: MainGPU:0 UseMmap:false}" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.407+01:00 level=INFO source=runner.go:1284 msg=load request="{Operation:commit LoraPath:[] Parallel:1 BatchSize:512 FlashAttention:Enabled KvSize:16384 KvCacheType: NumThreads:4 GPULayers:65[ID:GPU-c1adeb78-275d-685f-cafa-6946de43bfb7 Layers:65(0..64)] MultiUserCache:false ProjectorPath: MainGPU:0 UseMmap:false}" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.407+01:00 level=INFO source=ggml.go:482 msg="offloading 64 repeating layers to GPU" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.407+01:00 level=INFO source=ggml.go:489 msg="offloading output layer to GPU" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.407+01:00 level=INFO source=ggml.go:494 msg="offloaded 65/65 layers to GPU" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.408+01:00 level=INFO source=device.go:240 msg="model weights" device=CUDA0 size="15.5 GiB" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.408+01:00 level=INFO source=device.go:245 msg="model weights" device=CPU size="710.2 MiB" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.408+01:00 level=INFO source=device.go:251 msg="kv cache" device=CUDA0 size="4.7 GiB" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.408+01:00 level=INFO source=device.go:262 msg="compute graph" device=CUDA0 size="1.1 GiB" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.408+01:00 level=INFO source=device.go:267 msg="compute graph" device=CPU size="168.0 MiB" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.408+01:00 level=INFO source=device.go:272 msg="total memory" size="22.2 GiB" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.409+01:00 level=INFO source=sched.go:561 msg="loaded runners" count=1 time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.409+01:00 level=INFO source=server.go:1350 msg="waiting for llama runner to start responding" time=2026-03-24T20:01:20.409+01:00 level=INFO source=server.go:1384 msg="waiting for server to become available" status="llm server loading model" time=2026-03-24T20:01:52.956+01:00 level=INFO source=server.go:1388 msg="llama runner started in 35.84 seconds" [GIN] 2026/03/24 -

Debugging Steps for Developers Provide them with this list of steps to reproduce or further analyze the bug: Pipe Buffer Monitoring: They should check if the runner's stdout/stderr pipe buffer overflows under Windows (Win32 pipes) when GPU discovery takes longer than the DiscoveryTimeout. Race Condition Check: Analyze the startup sequencer in gpu/gpu_windows.go. If discovery times out, the runner thread appears to enter an infinite wait state instead of terminating cleanly. Increase Verbosity: They should provide the command for a debug build: Ideally, the process should be terminated after being queried, and only then should a clean retry be performed. However, the server is starting a new process that then uses CPU resources and is also invisible in the log.

Same BUG

Different issue, there is no mention of cudaMemcpyAsyncReserve in the supplied log.

As you can see, Ollama falls back on CPU resources.

It does not:
