Tensorflow crashes when running with CUDA support

Question

I had an install of tensorflow 2.4.1 and everything worked but I was having issues with it crashing when trying to use Tensorboard. I had a look on github issues page and one of the maintainers said that it's a known issue and will be fixed in 2.5.

So I went and installed 2.5-rc and then everything broke down. I then tried to downgrade back to 2.4.1 but the issue persisted. No other attempts resulted in fixing crashes.

I went all the way to remove Anaconda install, all Python source folders, CUDA and CuDNN installs, then re-installed all back.

As per TF help page I installed TF-2.4.1 with CUDA 11.0 and CuDNN 8.0. It actually worked until I installed CUDA. Now it crashes every time even when I manually hide CUDA-enable devices. This is the output I get:

Anyone knows what can be the issue?

Answer 1

I have this problem before, and there of many issues to cause this error code. but

I recommend for install TensorFlow, follow the version that exists in the GPU section in enter link description here

and you can watch these video enter link description here

Note: before going into reinstalling, try

import tensorflow as tf

physical_devices = tf.config.list_physical_devices('GPU')
tf.config.experimental.set_memory_growth(physical_devices[0], True)

Answer 2

Almost every version of Tensorflow has it's specific version of CUDA and CUDNN. If you have Tensorflow 2.5, you need CUDA 11.2 and CUDNN 8.1https://spltech.co.uk/how-to-install-tensorflow-2-5-with-cuda-11-2-and-cudnn-8-1-for-windows-10/
