Is there anyone also got this problem and have figured it out?

[Geoffrey Eisenbarth]

I'm dealing with a similar issue with a Quadro 1000M, ever find a solution?

...

[Cuong Duc]

I think that the problem here is our cards are too old (compute compatibility 2.0) to run Caffe. I just changed to a newer card and everything works properly. 

[Usama Shafiq]

Were you able to solve this problem? I'm having the same issue too. I have compute capability 2.1

[Cuong Duc]

The problem is my VGA was so old. I replaced it with a new Geforce and the problem is resolved
