Game keeps crashing and freezing

I seem to be having major issues with my game freezing the whole time. The game freezes everytime a specific sound file is accessed eg. door opens or closes. The game either freezes and resumes again after about a minute or crashes completely. It's becoming very annoying.

I first thought it might have something to do with mods and downloads I had installed but I removed EVERYTHING from my saved games and downloads folder, uninstalled and deleted everything. I then tried a fresh install and played without any modifications.

But the game still crashes.

There is a text file for error logs in the game files and it keeps referring to a sound file of sorts that's missing but I have reinstalled everything so I cannot understand why it would be gone.

Can anybody help? :smt120
