Sorry you've had to wait a bit for a response. I don't know if this will help, but let's hope for the best. My source of Oblivion crashes is usually a wrong resolution set up, but this will typically not let them game get as far as the Bethesda intro logo, so maybe that's no an issue. If you've got Steam, try Validating the Oblivion files. If you're not using Steam, I would try uninstalling and reinstalling the game, if that's easy and convenient for you to do. Files may be missing, and either Validation or a fresh install would help that. If that doesn't work, give the Unofficial Oblivion Patch a run. That patch fixes a whooooooole lot of issues and your crash may be a potential fix in the patch. Other than those few things, unfortunately I'm not so sure what to tell you. Best of luck! Kw
