Cannot import tensorflow-gpu in Python

Question

I've installed tensorflow-gpu using conda, before that I've installed CUDA Toolkit 9.0 and CuDNN v7.0 . But after trying to run the hello tensorflow code, I'm facing the following error. It is unable to load lib files.

Following is what I have given as I/p:

Microsoft Windows [Version 10.0.15063]
(c) 2017 Microsoft Corporation. All rights reserved.

C:\Users\Manish>activate tensorflow-gpu

(tensorflow-gpu) C:\Users\Manish>python
Python 3.6.1 |Continuum Analytics, Inc.| (default, May 11 2017, 13:25:24) [MSC v.1900 64 bit (AMD64)] on win32
Type "help", "copyright", "credits" or "license" for more information.
>>> import tensorflow as tf

This is the Error after that

Follow these steps to install Tensorflow using conda

#Set Up Anaconda Environments
conda create --name tf_gpu python=3

#Activate the new Environment
source activate tf_gpu

# Install CUDA and cuDNN
tf_gpu$conda install -c anaconda cudatoolkit=9.0 cudnn=7.0

#Install Tensorflow
tf_gpu$ conda install -c anaconda tensorflow-gpu
