Hi,
  Can you try the newer NVIDIA drivers or an older version?
We see now that two people have trouble with the 180.51 version,
but what about the latest 185.18.14 driver, or the CUDA 180.18.08
drivers?

If it happens with the 180.18.08 driver, then I may be able
to file bugs on this with NVIDIA since this behavior doesn't occur for
us with that driver on different OS revs and GPU combinations.

Cheers,
  John Stone
