Application crash due to KERNELBASE.dll possibly?

I have written an application that runs as a Windows Desktop application , running on a windows 10 laptop that occasionally crashes. The crash may happen after 24 hours, maybe 60 hours - maybe longer, sometimes not at all.
The Widows Event Viewer shows that the application crash was preceded by an Error from the ,Net Runtime- at around a minute before athe application is reported to have crashed.

Is this an application error or due to the KERNELBASE.dll? Or something else!

The details of the error are:

The description tells it:

Description: The process was terminated due to an unhandled exception.

Just add proper exception handling. Furthermore, if your application runs also 30 or 60 hours, then you need to check your resource handling of unmanaged resources. E.g. if you draw your own components using bitmaps, then you need to free them.

Thanks - Can you explain why KERNELBASE.dll is referred to?
Does it appear to be a graphical error then?

Can you explain why KERNELBASE.dll is referred to

kernel is responsible for memory management. Here it seems your resources are not freed properly and keep on growing memory usages and finally got crashed. But though it is handled by kernel, in stack trace, you are getting it.
