Game freezes at loading missions.

Hi, I'm new here as well as new to SHIII. Bought it earlier today, installed, added the GWX megamod, overrode the resolution and ran it. The game loads, the menu appears, I'm able to change the options etc. The problem appears as soon as I try to run anything else than the Naval Academy. The NA loads and works just fine. But when I try to play a custom mission or view the Museum the game freezes. It displays the loading screen, fills up the bar to approximately 90% and then completely freezes. The HDD works for about 15 seconds after the freeze and then stops as well. I'm only able to exit the game by ALT CTRL DEL and it displays the game's status as not responding. I'm only able to shut down the process and start again, but it doesn't change anything. Any clues?

The game version is 1.4 PL.

My system: C2D 2.0GHz, 2GB DDR2, ASUS P5B Deluxe, Nvidia 8600GTS all complete with WinXP PRO SP2 and the latest drivers. Please help me enjoy this great game.
