I don't see a clear cause of this in those files, although that error log is a bit of a worry.

Are there definitely no mods in use here?

Is this just happening in one particular campaign? Or others, or a new one you might start as a test?

After one of these crashes can you load up that save and carry on past the crash point?

And can I get a dxdiag.txt please.
 
I don't have a single mod installed, it happens on multiple saves, i attached some more crash error logs and the DxDiag.

What antivirus do you use? Make sure victoria3.exe is in all its exceptions lists, AND that it is not doing realtime scans of the Documents/Paradox Interactive/Victoria3 folders

Im not using any antivirus, here are some error logs I had while playing as USA. The game crashes on every save, even new ones

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
