UBUNTU 16.04 minimal: Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 0000:00:08.0: Unknown Error

After I had installed an ubuntu 16.04 minimal version, I intended to install NVIDIA driver, cuda and cudnn drivers. so I used this reference and after downloading all necessary files like:

NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.59.run
cuda_10.2.89_440.33.01_linux.run 

Then after giving permission to run, I used the command sh NVIDIA-Linux-x86_64-440.59.run to install the nvidia driver. I also installed cuda with the same procedure.

Unfortunately when I use the nvidia-smi, I get this error

Unable to determine the device handle for GPU 0000:00:08.0: Unknown Error

I also used the debian packages and got the same results.

How can I solve this issue?
