cuda file error "Invalid device function" - cuda

Question

I have a GPU card GeForce GTX 295 and visual studio 2012 and cuda with version 6.5. I run a simple code like
#include "stdafx.h"
#include <stdio.h>
#include <cuda.h>
// Kernel that executes on the CUDA device
__global__ void square_array(float *a, int N)
{
int idx = blockIdx.x * blockDim.x + threadIdx.x;
if (idx<N) a[idx] = a[idx] * a[idx]; }
// main routine that executes on the host
int main(void)
{ float *a_h, *a_d; // Pointer to host & device arrays
const int N = 10; // Number of elements in arrays
size_t size = N * sizeof(float);
a_h = (float *)malloc(size); // Allocate array on host
cudaMalloc((void **) &a_d, size); // Allocate array on device // Initialize host array and copy it to CUDA device
for (int i=0; i<N; i++) a_h[i] = (float)i;
cudaMemcpy(a_d, a_h, size, cudaMemcpyHostToDevice); // Do calculation on device:
int block_size = 4;
int n_blocks = N/block_size + (N%block_size == 0 ? 0:1);
square_array <<< n_blocks, block_size >>> (a_d, N);
// Retrieve result from device and store it in host array
cudaMemcpy(a_h, a_d, sizeof(float)*N, cudaMemcpyDeviceToHost);
// Print results
for (int i=0; i<N; i++)
printf("%d %f\n", i, a_h[i]);
// Cleanup
free(a_h);
cudaFree(a_d); }
In this code ,when I use command cudaGetLastError (void) after calling the kernel, at console window an error display "Invalid device function" .How can I get rid of it?

GTX 295 has compute capability 1.3 I believe. It may be worth checking your solution compiler settings to see whether you are not compiling the solution using something like compute_20,sm_20. If so, try to change these values to e.g. compute_10,sm_10, rebuild and see whether it helps. See here for details on setting these values.
EDIT:
According to njuffa and also CUDA documentation support for cc1.0 devices was removed in CUDA 6.5 so you'll have to use compute_13,sm_13.
