This just a long shot but it is worth a try and has worked for me. It will hopefully address the crashing issue. Sometimes, my computer really dislikes a single player save and will crash every time I move from that area (i.e. Umar Hills). I am talking about 10 times in a row.
I copied my save game from save to mpsave and load the game as Multiplayer. Leave the area and load new area, save game, copy back and run as single player.
It is always worth a try but no gaurantees.
