I have had similar issues for a while, in addition to other related issues that would crash the client shortly after startup.
In my case, the culprit turned out to be MSI Afterburner which I use to control my nVidia card. The issues started not long after updating Afterburner, and quitting it stopped my client crashing on startup. There are similar programs for Radeon/AMD cards as well that might have the same incompatibility. So if you use anything to tweak your GPU, that program may be the problem.
