title: could not create cudnn handle: CUDNN_STATUS_INTERNAL_ERROR
body: <p>I installed tensorflow 1.0.1 GPU version on my Macbook Pro with GeForce GT 750M. Also installed CUDA 8.0.71 and cuDNN 5.1. I am running  a tf code that works fine with non CPU tensorflow but on GPU version, I get this error (once a while it works too):</p>
