Hey guys im quite new and ive got to the point where my game keeps crashing, at the same point in time ingame.

Its a very old fortress and after a little research i think its something to do with 'Large Address Aware'.  Im using the PeridexisErrant's DF Starter Pack.

Can someone explain to me how i fix this please?

Large address aware allows 43.03 and earlier forts to access more than 2 GB of memory on windows. You need to run it yourself, it is not automatic. You can, of course, reverse this if you want

However, game crashing at same point might be due a bugged visitor, uninvited guest or siege as well. Typically, I find DF only uses few hundred MB of RAM for me, so this would be my initial suspicion.

I used LAA early on when I created a 6*6 embark out of hubris with 0.40.09(?) or so. That fortress crashed due to running out of memory and its life was extended through an LAA fix (which I don't remember where I found it or how I installed it). With 0.43.05 the recommended method, if using FPS killing data sizes, is to use the 64 bit version of DF. Note that the LNP doesn't exist in a 32 bit version for 0.43.05 (although DF itself does).

So how do identify exactly whats crashing my game at the same point in time?

There is no standard way to determine what causes a fortress to crash. Painstaking examination and elimination of possible causes may help.

What does "very old fortress" mean? Created a long time ago using an old DF version and still using it, old version fortress upgraded to version X, or a fortress that's been running for X in game years on the current (or recent) version?
You're providing very scant info on versions, mods, DFHack plugins used, what's happening when it crashes, embark size, etc.
