Fallout 4 crashes on New/Continue

I used to be able to load the game, but then it got to where it would load - and then crash after I selected New or Continue. Upon investigating I learned that the person who was paid good money to assemble my computer apparently took the opportunity to emphasize just what sort of work ethic he has... he basically gave me a motherboard with an AMD processor with a mediocre integrated graphics card:

 

AMD A10-7700K APU with Radeon R7 Graphics

 

And now Fallout 4 won't even bother with a mere 1 GB of dedicated RAM for graphics. So! I have now installed my new video card, a Geforce GTX 960 SSC. Drivers updated, etc... the game still crashes when I click New or Continue.

 

I checked on how to disable the integrated graphics in the bios. The problem continues to persist. I have tried using the NVIDIA control panel to require the game to use the new card and not the integrated graphics... and that option does not appear to be available; the little option to pick which graphical device is not there. I am genuinely at a loss and could really, really use some help.

 

EDIT: I FINALLY fixed it! Please pin this, or otherwise save it so everyone will know. I fixed the problem by deleting all my old saves. The first time I played through I used a "vanilla" game with no mods. Then I tried playing it with mods galore, including a few that apparently screwed things up. So if anyone else starts having this problem, delete your old saves (also, make backups of your saves before trying new mods, or before deleting your backed up saves one by one if you're desperate to keep at least some of your old playthrough functioning).
