ME3: Freezing in Attican traverse.

So I'm at the mission where you investigate the Rachni in ME3. The early part of the mission is fine, I meet Grunt again, team falls down the hole, we meet a ravager and then the cave collapses. All good.
But after the second set of webbing the game just freeze up once I jump off a hill and Husks/cannibals start appearing. It just freezes up every time in the exact same spot. I've disable all my mods, verified the integrity of the game files, updated my graphics card, and restarted the mission a couple times but it just keeps freezing up on me without the decency to even CTD. I'm at my wits end trying to figure this out.

    The Audio driver could still be a problem, especially because a AppHang error could easily be driver related.

    • Please test with both audio devices disabled.

    If that don't works clean reinstall your GPU driver:

    • Follow this manual to the letter to cleanly uninstall all AMD components.
    • Install the graphics driver. > Go online.
    • Test.

    The fact that the game is on an external drive is also a possible error source.

    Please preform a clean boot and test the Game in clean boot mode.

    Make sure your virus scanner and other security software and also Afterburner and similar software is disabled.

    Make also sure that your GPU & CPU are not overclocked.

    I already tried starting a clean boot and it still didn't work.

    Right now I'm reinstalling the game, I'll further update when it's done.

    Alright so I did a complete reinstall of the game and it it worked fine at first. I reinstalled the major mods one by one and redid the save each time and I thought the problem was done.

    After a couple hours however, the same issue happened again in similar circumstances: I got to a place with enemies, it lagged a lot, the music and dialog audio cut out and after a couple minutes crashed completely just like last time. I've included another Dxdiag.

    This crashes do not happen at the same area as last time?

    The DxDiag shows that the driver of the C-MEDIA USB Audio device is not digitally signed, do you use this device wile you play?

    Your Windows build is outdate, do you block Windows features updates on purpose?

    There are also several crashes of the "ME3TweaksModManager.exe", are you sure that all mods were installed correctly?

    The crashes don't happen in the same area but, but the circumstances are similar (combat area, lagging, then crash when try to progress).

    The audio device refers to either my headset or speakers. I've disconnected my headset and the speakers are what I use primarily. I also keep LE on an external drive, if that helps.

    I'm downloading the most recent feature update as I type this.

    The mod manager crashes were an unrelated issue, all the mods downloaded and installed properly.

    Update: I updated windows and disconnected the headsets. Problem still persists but it looks like MEtweaks crashed again even though it wasn't open?

    Disconnected my speakers. No change.

    Followed the link to the letter, No change with the game issue whatsoever.

    You would need to disable the devices in the device manager, even if you disconnected them physically the drivers are still loaded.

    Also look if there are newer drivers for this audio devices.
