This error has been plaguing me for some time now.
It previously happened on 19.5.403. I fixed it by upgrading to 19.5.640, and now it has returned to haunt me once again.
I'm at a loss. I've completely reinstalled Houdini, updated my graphics driver, anything I could think of to try and fix this, but to no avail.
Here's the crashlog:

Does anyone have any clue as to how to fix this issue once and for all?
Thanks.

Maybe your overclock is unstable?

I don't think my CPU is overclocked... Atleast not that I know of.

Maybe your overclock is unstable?

I figured it out. For some reason, my remote control program (Parsec) started causing Houdini to crash on startup. Funnily enough, starting it up, quickly disconnecting and waiting a minute before reconnecting allows Houdini to operate normally.

Saved my day you legend, can also confirm Parsec Virtual Display adapter seemed to be causing the same issue.
Thanks!
