Crashing within 1-2 secs of boot up
So when I boot up ATS it has a black screen and will crash after 1-2 seconds. I have tried verifying the files, nothing. I have not played with mods ever.
Here is the game.log

You are low on RAM when you start the game:
00:00:00.000 : [mem] physical total: 7946M 00:00:00.000 : [mem] physical avail: 2174M
Close any programm you have open in the background before starting the game. Also think about upgrading your RAM.

Change the following lines in the config (or config.cfg) file:
uset cf_asus_aura "1" uset cf_razer_chroma "1"
Change the "1" to "0" and save it.

You can find the config (or config.cfg) file in your documents in the ATS folder.

Also the last entry of your game.crash file would be helpfull. You can find it in the same folder as the game.log file.

I tried to change 1 to 0 and closed all programs. Nada. Here is the complete crash file. https://pastebin.com/qsBL3GTU

Your graphics drivers are not up to date. About 4 months old.

Try updating your drivers.

Exception code: C0000005 ACCESS_VIOLATION

There is still not enough free RAM, but it looks like the faulting module is the sound in the game, maybe cause by the lack of free memory, as it is an access violation.

Verify your game files. You can do this by doing a right-click on the game in your Steam Library and going to "Properties". There you go to "Local files" and there should be the option to verify your files. This will fix any missing or corrupt game files.

Make sure your audio drivers in Windows are up to date and close every program running in the background in Windows, especially browsers, web chat and Discord. You should probably also consider getting 16 Gb of RAM installed.

Thank you all! It looks like updating the driver fixed it, I thought I had it on auto. Thank you all so much!
