I've been assessing Karma XPU as a replacement to third GPU renderers in Houdini, I'm loving it overall. I'm getting some mysterious errors when trying to render geometry generate by the Particle Trail sop, oddly enough it's only when I try to render a sequence. Single image viewport renders are fine, and Karma CPU renders the sequence without issue. Any ideas? Houdini 20.0.547

Error
Command Exit Code: -1073741819
Error
Failed to complete render: exit code -1073741819

Definitely seems to be something to do with the particle trail sop, here's a simple setup using the standard pyro bonfire configure. Karma XPU crashes on the 3rd frame, regardless of where I'm starting the sequence

I updated my Nvidia drivers and it seems to be fine now, I guess that should've been the first thing to check

Yes, this popped up a few times in the last ~2 months, basically a CPU crash with the 545 line of drivers on Windows. Our system requirements page, and XPU documentation always report latest driver version recommendations
