I’m having the similar problem when I run import tensorflow as tf After downgrading to the tensorflow 1.5 version, it doesn’t have this problem. Try running: pip uninstall tensorflow And then pip install tensorflow==1.5

im using Spyder 3 and Python 3.6 running on windows 7 … and i have got the same error “Kernel died, restarting” the problem was something related to Python. it was unable to run because of some windows feature need to be up to date “mainly Service Pack 1” … i used that windows file update to solve the problem and it worked very well Windows6.1-KB2999226-x64
