Do you mean something like Memtest86?

Yes, or maybe your BIOS has a built-in memory check, but these tend to be
not as thorough.  You might also want to check if your graphics drivers are
up-to-date, they've been blamed for causing trouble like this in other
instances, especially if the screensaver kicks in during high load.  But I'd
rule out dodgy memory first, let it run for at least four full test cycles
(that should take quite a while depending on how much memory you have).

Well, that exit code is ACCESS_VIOLATION... if you are sure it's not BLODA
related and it fails only intermittently and always with a different
program, I'd run a memory test.
