This is a problem which only affects players with certain AMD CPUs. Unfortunately, Mass Effect is not compatible with any AMD CPU of the FX series or newer.
Is the mod you're referring to "Black Blobs fix for AMD CPU users" by Mgamerz? That works for most people, so it's unfortunate if that makes your PC crash. Maybe you could discuss this on the mod's page on Nexus Mods. Someone there might know of a solution.
The console fix that you mentioned was never ideal because it disables most lighting and is not pretty.
The only other option I see is to buy Mass Effect: Legendary Edition, which no longer has that bug. The downsides, of course, are that this costs money and isn't compatible with your savefile.
