Error /crash while starting the game

My computer crashed (CPU fried) and I had to replace my CPU. After doing that I keep getting a crash while trying to start BGEE1/2/IWDEE. I managed to fix the crash with IWD by adding SetPrivateProfileString('Graphics','Backend','1') to the Baldur.Lua, but it doesn't help with the crash BGEE and BGEE2 has.

I did a full reinstall and I got IWD:EE and BG:EE to work. BG2EE is the only game that doesn't work even after clearing out the folder and doing a full reinstall.

I added the dump/error file.

    This works for all 3 (BG:EE BG2:EE IWD:EE). It might get confusing because they all use the same filename even though they are in separate directories in your Documents folder.
