One important tool is SPIN, with the Promela language. If you use LaTeX, there is also TLA+.
These will not analyse your code, but will let you express a model for your assumtions and state transitons, and will then analyse for invalid states. In other words, they will detect problems in your model, not the implementation of your model.
I have seen a demo of Goanna, but I don’t know if it is available at all (commercial or otherwise); this has the advantage of actually analysing your source code.
Just looking at your question, and the comments in your question again, it sounds like you really should read some of the literature first. Perhaps, The Spin Model Checker, or Specifying Systems (downloadable from Leslie Lamport’s website). You need to reframe your problem so that you don’t try to solve the halting problem.
