Game Freezing During Saved File Load

My game freezes after I load any save file (load and continue). The freezing happens right after the card loading screen and it stays on the 2nd black screen. I tried reinstalling, running Origin on offline mode, using Repair, and run a compatibility mode. My PC isn't old either.

my specs are:

Intel core i7-4790k 4.00ghz

8GB Kingston Fury RAM

Geoforce GTX 960

My graphics card is also updated

 and I just started playing the game so my save file is still very fresh. I just got my horse.

I just started a new save file and it loads fine, its just the first charecter that doesn't load.

    @Carrot_Shover Unfortunately a save can sometimes get corrupted somehow, which is (one of several reasons) why it's always a good idea to maintain several saves for each character. Do you have any other saves for that character, and have you tried loading any of those instead? Do you, or have you, used any mods, trainers or cheat engine? The latter has been known to break characters, and it's possible that mods could cause issues if you're not careful.

    If it's just happening with one character or one save file, it sounds like it's an issue with that file/character, not the whole game (as it will let you save and load other characters). Are all the DAI AppHang errors in your dxdiag from this issue?

    By updated my graphics card I meant the driver. And with the driver I do express installations.

    Express installations are easy, but inadvisable. I recommend sweeping your driver completely using the tool I linked to so you're sure there are no traces left. Then install the latest driver again.

    I'll try that in a bit cause check this out.

    I just made a new character, saved it, and loaded it and it worked just fine. My first character must have bugged into oblivion.

    I tried loading the other auto saves but they didn't work either. I tried an old save and it did. 

    I don't have any mods and everything from the dxdiag should be on there cause I followed the instructions
