In the case of crypto libraries, a common strategy at startup is to perform cpu feature testing by trying an instruction in an ISA (like SSE4.2, SecureKey or AVX2), and trapping a potential cpu fault. If the fault is raised, the ISA is not available. Then the library sets up its function calls based on availability. Video drivers probably perform similar probes at startup. So to investigate further, we probably need to see a disassembly around the offending code, the name of the offending function, and the callstack.
