People coming here ask for help will vary in the amount of detail
given, but I've rarely seen anyone as reluctant as you.  It's like
walking into an auto repair shop and asking the mechanic what's wrong
with your car by trying to imitate the noise it makes.

If your code is very largre, you're not going to get out of this
without doing some of your own legwork.  I'm sorry.

Do this: Take your code, make a copy of it.  Start removing code from
the copy (in a controlled way) until the problem disappears.  When you
remove code don't worry about whether it produces anything useful, the
object is to try to identify what's causing the error.  Whatever code
you removed when the error disappears should give you a clue what's
causing it.  Then, if need be, you can come back and post details.  If
you manage to get the program to a small size without eliminating the
problem, you can post it here.
