try verifying the integrity of your game files, and if you modded gta 5, then tell me

The real question is - if you modded it, did you actually remove all the mods. I'd go to the gta5 game folder - show file extensions - and delete any file that is NOT a .rpf. Verify game files again. Reinstalling doesn't tend to remove all these unless you fully/manually deleted the game folder.

Then, start with detailing 'where' it crashes. Sirens? Loading story? Online? Close background programs (including wallpaper engine, discord, etc), things with overlays, and try again. If necessary try to run the gta5.exe by itself to see if it tells you a file is missing (useful), or if it says to run in launcher/from steam (normal behavior).

Then, we could look into corrupt saves, directx or vcredist issues, launcher/social club issues, possibly onedrive interfering, gpu driver issues, av/security, battleye, cloudsaves, and.. many other potentials. The launcher.log in my docs / rockstar games / launcher 'might' even give more useful info/error codes.

magic.


edit/below -
This is also a common problem when running R* launcher or steam in windows 7/8 compatibility mode. I'd go doublecheck none of those are set as. Make sure to restart them if they were. Knowing R* - I'd likely expand that to check all .exe for R* launcher, and in the gta5 enhanced folder too - just to be safe (and because I'm too lazy to go test each one).
