ERROR_GRAPHICS_GPU_EXCEPTION_ON_DEVICE

ERROR_GRAPHICS_GPU_EXCEPTION_ON_DEVICE (0xC0262200) means a GPU exception was detected on the device and the graphics scheduler could not continue scheduling it. This is a serious device or driver state failure, not a simple presentation retry.

What to check

  • Inspect System events for timeout detection and recovery, display-driver, or hardware errors at the same timestamp.
  • Record the exact GPU model, driver version, workload, power/thermal context, and reproducible trigger for the driver or hardware vendor.
  • After recovery, recreate device resources; if the fault repeats under multiple workloads, investigate driver stability and hardware health.

Useful command

Get-WinEvent -LogName System -MaxEvents 300 | Where-Object { $_.ProviderName -match 'Display|dxgkrnl|nvlddmkm|amdkmdag|igfx' }
