Using Nsight 4.0.0.14142 in VS2012 I can profile my app with “System” trace, but if I include “DirectX” then my app crashes on startup with this in the crash dialog:

If I choose Debug then I have to choose Debug->Break then switch the main thread, but the stack is not very useful even with a Debug build:

Our app does not write any logs during these crashes which suggests it doesn’t get very far at all, maybe not even into main.
I cannot share my EXE as-is but I am trying to create a small example that has the same problem. Any general ideas how I could debug this myself however?
