STATUS_PNP_TRANSLATION_FAILED

STATUS_PNP_TRANSLATION_FAILED means the resource translator could not turn the bus-relative resources for a device into the translated resources that the driver needs at start time. It is not merely a shortage of resources and it is not a normal driver-ID matching failure.

Windows supplies paired raw and translated resource lists with IRP_MN_START_DEVICE. The corresponding entries describe the same resource before and after platform translation. That pairing is the key evidence: a driver should log both lists and identify the first descriptor that cannot be reconciled.

What to inspect

The raw and translated resource lists, the parent bus, and any bridge or firmware resource description involved.
Whether the failure concerns memory, I/O space, DMA, or an interrupt resource; do not collapse them into a single “resource conflict”.
Whether the device can be reproduced on a different platform or firmware revision before changing the driver.
