It seems like you're encountering a CUDA error related to GPU detection while setting up an instance on a computer with an EVGA 1070 graphics card. This error message, "CUDA error: an illegal memory access was encountered," can be frustrating, but there are steps you can take to troubleshoot and resolve the issue.
**Driver Installation**: It's good that you've downloaded the 1070 driver, but make sure you've installed it correctly. Sometimes, issues can arise if the driver installation is not complete. Ensure that you've installed the latest and compatible GPU driver for your EVGA 1070.
**CUDA Toolkit**: CUDA errors often indicate problems with the CUDA Toolkit installation. Make sure you have the appropriate CUDA Toolkit version installed for your GPU. You might need to uninstall the current CUDA Toolkit and reinstall it to ensure it's properly configured.
**Check GPU Compatibility**: Confirm that your EVGA 1070 is compatible with the deep learning framework or software you're using for object detection. Some older GPUs may not be fully supported by certain frameworks, leading to compatibility issues.
**CUDA Version**: Ensure that the version of CUDA you're using is compatible with your GPU and the software you're running. Mismatched versions can cause problems. Make sure you've installed a CUDA version that is known to work well with your hardware and software.
**Memory Issues**: The error message mentions "illegal memory access." It's possible that there could be issues with your GPU's memory or the way it's being utilized. Check if there are any memory-related problems with your EVGA 1070, such as overheating or faulty RAM.
**Library Dependencies**: Sometimes, CUDA errors can be related to missing or incorrect library dependencies. Ensure that all the necessary libraries and dependencies are correctly installed and up to date.
**Software Configuration**: Review your software's configuration settings, especially those related to GPU usage. Double-check that you've configured the software to utilize the GPU for object detection properly.
**Log Analysis**: Take a closer look at the error log for any additional details that might pinpoint the issue more precisely. Sometimes, specific error codes or messages within the log can provide valuable insights into what's going wrong.
**Community Support**: If you've tried all the above steps and are still facing issues, consider seeking help from online forums or communities
