I've created a VM running Debian 10 and passing through a Nvidia GPU (Tesla K80). After installing the Nvidia v470 drivers I attempted to run the ```nvidia-smi``` command which should show info about the graphics card, however it caused the host to reboot. After the host rebooted I was able to run the nvidia-smi command and it showed the correct info. Later I tried to run the nvidia-smi command and this time it's hung the vm and the host (but not rebooted). Although I'm doing PCI passthrough I'm surprised that it is impacting the Proxmox host.
Proxmox VE hangs sometimes when running nvidia-smi in VM

hi,
passthrough can always impact the host if something is not right (since the pci card can interact with the remaining hardware still).
Can you post your vm config (qm config ID) and the journal from a boot where it crashed/hung?

Actually, I'm wondering if there's a problem with the GPU or if I'm just doing something wrong. Initially I was passing the GPU through to a VM but since that wasn't working I decided to just install the NVidia drivers on the host first time through everything seemed to be fine but then when I tried to reinstall the drivers on the host the host spontaneously rebooted. I can send you logs from that if you think it would be helpful (happened a few minutes ago).
