Please, try to start Workbench from cmd.exe command line client with extra -log-level=debug3 option. Send the output and content of wb.log file.

Running with -log-level=debug3 generated the wb.log file displayed the following.
Unhandled Exception: System.AccessViolationException: Attempted to read or write
 protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

Please, check if the same problem still happens with a newer version, 5.2.38. If it does, please, check for newer/updated video drivers.
