this error message is straight forward i think

ptxas application ptx input, line 9; fatal : Unsupported .version 7.6; current version is '7.5'

you could try
https://hashcat.net/beta/

and see wheter there is version 7.6 already supported

EDIT:
there are some old github issues where there are similar failures and sometimes the reason where outdated drivers, plz update to up2date 512 driver and see whether this failure still exists

I installed the latest beta version but it didn't help. After that I updated driver using cuda installation package and now Hashcat works like a charm.
Thanks!
