I am showing an error with nvidia-smi.exe but have no idea of the purpose. UNder ‘Volatile GPU-Util’ I just have ‘ERR!’ This may be nothing or it may explain other issues I have. Not sure if this is related to the insufficient permissions problem below or not.
My Machine is Windows 7 (64bit) and NVIDIA version is 7.5. Card is Quadro 4000.

I am facing the same problem.
I have Cuda 7.5 installed on my server with Windows Server 2012 R2, and Nvidia Quadro K6000 GPU installed. It’s a 64 bit machine.
I can import theano, and nvidia-smi is showing GPU status.
But in nvidia-smi, Volatile GPU-Util shows ERR!

Please explain me why this is happening, and how to fix it.
Thanks in advance.
The uncorrected ECC error column showing 40 could be a sign that the on-board Quadro K6000 GPU memory is starting to fail. Try powering the system off and rebooting, and see if the utilization column propagates correctly. Also check that the PCI-E power connections to the card are all populated correctly and that the card is firmly seated in the motherboard you are using. If you have a spare GPU, place it in the same slot and see if the behavior follows the card or the motherboard.
