You overclock too much.
Different programs will or will not cause a crash depending on their memory
access "patterns".
A memory testing utility like DocMemory does exactly that: it tries to access
memory in different access patterns until it finds one that causes a fault.
You have found the program that has the right memory access pattern to cause a
fault.
Don't blame the program and don't try to find a fix for this particular program.
What needs to be fixed is your entire system: you overclock a 550MHz CPU to
733MHz and wonder why this fails?
