ERROR_GRAPHICS_INSUFFICIENT_DMA_BUFFER

ERROR_GRAPHICS_INSUFFICIENT_DMA_BUFFER (0xC0262001) indicates that the display-driver stack could not fit the requested command work into the available DMA buffer space. This is primarily a driver or graphics-kernel scheduling condition.

What to check

  • For driver development, reduce or split the work submitted in one DMA buffer and inspect the driver path that builds the command stream.
  • For an application or end user, collect the exact driver version and System log evidence before changing hardware or software.
  • Install a matching supported display-driver package as a package; do not copy individual kernel or user-mode graphics DLLs.
