Nothing a user-space program does should be able to crash the OS kernel.  The
behaviour you're describing sounds like a resource leak of some type, probably
in kernel-space.  The most likely culprit, I think, is the driver for your
graphics hardware.

Try upgrading your graphics drivers to the most recent WHQL-certified version
for your hardware.
