What can cause D3D11CreateDevice() to fail with E_FAIL?

directx-11

I'm invoking D3D11CreateDevice() with the following code:

ID3D11Device* md3dDevice;
ID3D11DeviceContext* md3dImmediateContext;
D3D_DRIVER_TYPE md3dDriverType = D3D_DRIVER_TYPE_HARDWARE;
createDeviceFlags = D3D11_CREATE_DEVICE_DEBUG;
HRESULT hr = D3D11CreateDevice(
            0,                 
            md3dDriverType,
            0,                 
            createDeviceFlags, 
            0, 0,              
            D3D11_SDK_VERSION,
            &md3dDevice,
            &featureLevel,
            &md3dImmediateContext);

However, the result stored in HRESTUL hr is E_FAIL. The console has the following output:

First-chance exception at 0x7590b9bc in Init Direct3D.exe: Microsoft
C++ exception: _com_error at memory location 0x0049ec64..
c:\users\andrew\desktop\code\common\d3dapp.cpp(389):
D3D11CreateDevice( 0, md3dDriverType, 0, createDeviceFlags, 0, 0, D3D11_SDK_VERSION, &md3dDevice, &featureLevel, &md3dImmediateContext)
hr=E_FAIL (0x80004005) Init Direct3D.exe has triggered a breakpoint

I do not think it is a linking issue as the code builds, but the following additional dependencies are defined:

d3d11lib
d3dx11d.lib
D3DCompiler.lib
Effects11d.lib
dxerr.lib

My next thought was that my card was not compatible with D3D11. However, this is not the case. Here is the output of dxdiag:

The latest version of the SDK Debug Layer is not in the legacy DirectX SDK (June 2010) release. You need to install the standalone Windows 8.0 SDK, Visual Studio 2012, or you can just install the VS 2012 Remote Debugging Tools package.
