While trying to validate the installation of tensorflow-gpu, I get an ImportError when trying to execute "import tensorflow as tf". I am using a Quadro K620 on Windows 7. Tensorflow was installed using pip.

The following is the stack trace:

Failed to load the native TensorFlow runtime.

I have looked at multiple other stack overflow posts which things like correcting the path but I have not been able to solve this issue.

I found the solution for the CPU: It worked for me

Just run below command if necessary then update it

pip install tensorflow==1.5

I had the same error with anaconda, it was previously installed with another program through anaconda. Installing again through conda-forge worked: conda install -c conda-forge tensorflow

this is all about your video chip/card and CPU compatibility with TF VERSION! Current version of Tensor Flow is 1.8 and it crashes on both my machines.

I have a win7 Gateway notebook using an I5 CPU and intel video chip. I have a desktop win7 unit with AMD Phenom II and AMD Radeon HD5450 video card. The I5 notebook requires V1.6 of TensorFlow and the desktop AMD unit takes V1.5. I don't have a GPU available for running ANN's so I don't know how that would affect it.

Here's the command line for PIP install: pip install --upgrade tensorflow==1.5.0 (or whatever other version you need). This will uninstall your current version and then install the indicated version.

Build or copy a small TensorFlow script and run it in a command window. Open a second command window and install a different version. I'd recommend starting at 1.5 and working your way up.
