Stellaris crash on game open

[TonyPlaysGames]

I bought Stellaris a few years ago, and recently did a clean install of windows, as I was unable to receive windows updates. After reinstalling windows, and re-verifying my Stellaris files (saved from my secondary drive I plugged back in), I booted it up but it now crashes on boot! I have completely removed and reinstalled my mods, to prevent a corrupted mod file, and I was able to make it to about 3 years into a game, when now it crashes. I can create other new games, if I am careful to take my time through each screen (it crashes if I click on stuff to quickly as well), but loading autosaves also cause it to crash. Does anybody else know how to solve this?


I have completely updated my GPU drivers, checked to make sure I wasn't overloading my PSU, disabled N*rton, yet nothing seems to work. The only thing I have gotten to work so far, is if I boot up the game in Windows safe mode.

When it crashes, the game hangs, buzzes, and then my PC restarts.

Specs- if helpful.
Motherboard; ASRock X570 Taichi
GPU; Radeon RX Vega 64
PSU; EVGA 850 GQ
Processor; AMD Ryzen 7 3700X 8-Core Processor 3.60 GHz
Installed RAM; 32.0 GB
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor

Also I have not noticed any overheating problems, I carefully monitored both the temperature of my GPU and CPU, yet neither fluctuated past the normal ranges.
The two mods used are 'dynamic political events' and 'no clustered starts'. I have also tried removing them and playing but the issue persists

my gpu was stable at 80c and cpu 70c for a few minutes straight so I assume that overheating the CPU or GPU isnt a problem.

IME 80c is precisely where such issues start. But you said previously your GPU was only 53c?

Also, does anyone know where I can contact to get in touch with AMD support? I am starting to think this really is some driver error or incompatibility, but when I sent a bug report along with my contact information a few days ago I have heard nothing since.
