I am facing an issue with constant crashing to desktop that seems to happen at any time in game. It is making my game unplayable and I'm really starting to get tired of it. I have uploaded a bunch of the logs. I hope I can get this solved since it has ruined a game I really liked.

We have updated our Community Code of Conduct. Please read through the new rules for the forum that are an integral part of Paradox Interactive’s User Agreement.
If these crashes are at random times in play, and are not repeatable (ie you can reload a save and carry on past the crash point), and there are no mods involved, the cause is likely to be outside the game.
Has this always been the case with this game for you? Or it was okay up to some point?
Right click on victoria3.exe , properties, compatibility. Tick "disable fullScreen optimisations" untick every other box in that dialog, Apply and exit.
Then in the launcher Game Settings menu, select fullScreen display mode, Vsync off, cap refresh rate at 60.
If those don't help:
DXDIAG is a program you run from the Windows search box on the task bar. After running it will open a window and start collecting info with a progress bar in the lower-left corner. When it completes click the 'save all information' button and save it to a file then attach that file here.
IF dxdiag.txt fails to attach here, rename it to dxdiag.log , or zip it up.
Please attach here your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/pdx_settings.json .
From your Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3/crashes/ folder, attach here the latest (only!) exceptions.txt

I did suffer from an electrical problem a few months back that made my hard drive unusable and might have affected the rest of the computer...

Here is a non-modded game where I didn't even manage to get to the country selection screen.
I'm sadly thinking that my RAM is either damaged or my CPU is
That error log still mentions mods ... maybe one has changed some actual game files, even though it shouldn't.
Please do a full clean re-install:
- move any valued save games elsewhere
- "uninstall" in Steam-Vic3
- manually delete both the Steam/SteamApps/common/Victoria3 AND Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders - In particular make sure there are no files or folders left under either the Steam Victoria3 or Documents Victoria3 locations, before installing again.
- re-install game in Steam, run a Steam Verify when done.
- add Victoria3.exe to the exceptions list of your antivirus app; ESPECIALLY if you have Windows Defender, add it to the Ransomware "Apps Allowed Through" list.
- start the game with no mods active and test with a new campaign, NOT any existing one
If you still get this issue, new copies of all those files, AND the dxdiag.txt (renamed or zipped), thanks.

What can I say - there are STILL multiple mod errors on that log. I don't know how what we've done hasn't removed them!
This time go into the Steam workshop for this hane and unsubscribe from ALL mods there.
Then again do that clean reinstall from my previous post, and test with a new unmodded campaign, NOT any existing one.
