Failed to get convolution algorithm. This is probably because cuDNN failed to initialize - tensorflow

Question

I am trying to learn VGG16 model. But now, I got an error like,
Using TensorFlow backend.
UnknownError: Failed to get convolution algorithm. This is probably
because cuDNN failed to initialize, so try looking to see if a warning
log message was printed above. [[{{node conv2d_1/convolution}} =
Conv2D[T=DT_FLOAT, data_format="NCHW", dilations=[1, 1, 1, 1],
