This list is not for CentOS questions and why are you still on 6.9, which is quite old?

   The application is carefully designed to not simply consume too much memory and run out, and observation
of the System Monitor confirms this.

   What could be  the cause? Is this a bug in my code, quite possible given the fact that I an still testing and debugging? Can a bug in a user application get into Kernel space and crash the machine?
Or is it likely a hardware problem on the Motherboard?

Unless you're running as root and poking at things you shouldn't, there's no way a user level program should be able to cause that. It sounds most likely to be a hardware issue. Maybe something's overheating?
