Program crashing ubuntu

I have a fairly graphics intense QT based proprietary program that keeps crashing at me when it runs out of memory.
When that happens it often takes down the entire system. Usually I can restart and the program will work again. However, this time it would refuse to start properly. Instead I see a transparent splash and then it blocks a CPU at 100% until the system freezes. I tried reinstalling the program and deleting all .* files.I previously managed to fix this by reinstalling the Nvidia driver. This times nothing seems to help.
Is there a way to find out what as specific program is doing on my system? Something like a traceback. As it is proprietary I don't get any output from the terminal.
And: No using a different free software is not an option.

Seems like a great support question for that proprietary vendor.

Most (all) programs will crash system when system runs out of memory. Add more memory (for performance) or more swap (for handling memory shortage, but with bad performance.

There are trace funktions, such as strace, that lets you see what your program makes of system calls.
