Kubernetes pod restarting

I have a kubernetes deployment where my application container is running within a windows node. There are multiple pods on the node, but there aren’t any resource limit/requests put into place. kubectl top shows the node consistently around the 30-35% memory usage and am unsure why the pods are being restarted periodically. There aren’t any clues in the event history and describing the pod shows:

    State:          Running
      Started:      Thu, 18 Jul 2024 10:22:45 -0400
    Last State:     Terminated
      Reason:       Error
      Exit Code:    -1073741571

    Ready:          True

I am unsure what to make of the exit code and would appreciate any pointers as to how to find the definitive reason for a pod restart.
