Bet it's trying to use the Intel® HD Graphics 4000 as a OpenCL device.

I think you're right, I actually solved the issue following your advice in the other OpenCL thread
https://www.sidefx.com/forum/topic/48276/ [sidefx.com]

Thank you so much! I wish it were easier to set the openCL device, there should be something in the Preferences window.

I'm using Windows 10, GTX 970 with 378.66 drivers, i7 3770

The crash happens for me if I just add height field, add noise, and add erode. No matter what configuration the erosion crashes

It seems to be an OpenCL issue, I installed the Windows SDK debug tools to see if it could provide any additional help and it came through. I'll post the crash report if that's any help. I added a Pyro node and when I clicked “Use OpenCL” it also crashed immediately.

Crash report from Thater; Houdini FX Version 16.0.504.20 (windows-x86_64-cl19)

I added the screenshot, this happens to me no matter how simple I try to make it. Even without the mask, it's hardly worth uploading the HIP since all I did was add a height field, add noise, and then add erosion.
