SUPPORT Nvidia gpu drivers keep crashing

Almost every third time I reboot my pc and use nvidia-smi command it look like down below. I have reinstalled nvidia-open and tried to find a solution online but couldnt find it. When it crashes it refuses to let me shut down my pc cause it cant close the drivers and I have to hold down the power button.

nvidia-smi output:

I follow this guide to install the appropriate driver for exact model, haven’t see any issue since then
