GTA San Andreas Crashes

[WillNeedsHelpFast]

Hi, I have GTA San Andreas for the PC. Now, I play a multiplayer mod for it called San Andreas Multiplayer. I NEVER have problems with SA-MP. However, since I got the game, when I play singleplayer, it eventually crashes and comes up "GTA San Andrea has crashed and stopped responding" and it'll give me an option to close the .exe.

Any ideas to fix this? I tried re-installing, running as admin, and even setting compatability modes and it just wont work. My PC def. can run it.

I'm using Win 7, 64 bit.

Install clean and select alternate path such as C:\GTA_SA\    then try running game by executing that EXE from the clean install location. I've seen where problems dont get deleted  thru normal reinstall, yet if you select alternate path things work.
