No idea if these will solve the problem you're having, but they're worth a shot.

If using Steam:

It sounds simple, and you've probably already done so, but have you gone into your "Steam/steamapps/common" folder, and checked to see if the "Silent Hunter 3" folder was still there? (Even after Steam was supposed to have deleted it.) I find that most of the time Steam doesn't get rid of everything if mods left any junk behind. Afterwards, you can have Steam install the game again, and then install GWX and any other mods. (See the next suggestion before installing mods.)
After installing SH3 on Steam, and before installing any mods, try right-clicking "Silent Hunter III" on the game list, and choosing "Properties". Click the "Local Files" tab, and then click "Verify integrity of game cache". (Just to double-check if it was downloaded properly.

General advice:

Also check the "My Documents" folder, and if you don't care about your past save data, delete/recycle the "SH3" folder.
If you've recently updated your graphics drivers, it might be worth a shot trying the previous version. If you have not updated lately, it probably wouldn't hurt to try updating.
If you're using SH3 Commander with GWX, remember to install the GWX config files for it.
