ERROR_GRAPHICS_NO_VIDEO_MEMORY

ERROR_GRAPHICS_NO_VIDEO_MEMORY (0xC0262100) means the graphics memory manager could not provide enough video memory for the requested operation. It can be caused by resource pressure, a large texture or render target, or memory that is still in use by the GPU.

What to check

Reduce peak GPU memory use, release unused resources, and avoid allocating multiple full-resolution intermediate surfaces at once.
Use the graphics API memory-budget mechanisms where available instead of inferring capacity from installed VRAM alone.
Check for a recent device reset or driver error before assuming the issue is ordinary memory pressure.
