Ok, that means either old driver or old binary. I assume you have rebuild the binary with
cd NVIDIA_GPU_Computing_SDK/
cd C/
make
and nvcc --version looked something like that
nvcc --version
nvcc: NVIDIA (R) Cuda compiler driver
Copyright (c) 2005-2010 NVIDIA Corporation
Built on Mon_Jun__7_18:56:31_PDT_2010
Cuda compilation tools, release 3.1, V0.2.1221
Then you might have an old kernel module loaded.
You should type as root
more /proc/driver/nvidia/version
to give you your running kernel module version, something like
more /proc/driver/nvidia/version
NVRM version: NVIDIA UNIX x86_64 Kernel Module 256.44 Thu Jul 29 01:22:44 PDT
2010
GCC version: gcc version 4.4.3 (Gentoo 4.4.3-r2 p1.2)
If a different version or nothing is there, unload the kernel module.
rmmod nvidia
The directory /proc/driver/nvidia disappeared.
And load it again:
modprobe nvidia
.
If this is not working you have no kernel module.
Rerun the nvidia_driver.run script and make sure that you have the kernel-sources of you
kernel installed.

The last thing I can imagine is that the card is not working.
If you have the module loaded, show what is in /dev
ls -l /dev/ | grep nv
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 0 Aug 20 11:47 nvidia0
crw-rw---- 1 root video 195, 255 Aug 20 11:47 nvidiactl
You see the sample output of my system.
Here the users of the card have to be in group video!
If nothing is there, the card is not there, hence hardware/ power supply problem.
Hope I could help.
All the best
Thorsten
