Any activity that involved a generator cause a crash

[El'-]

i have a settlement base in starllights drive in, whenever i try to activate or deactivate my generator, the game is crashed, same thing happened when i tried to build a generator on that base, any idea how i fixed it? ive spent 5 hours to fix this issue, havent find a single solution yet

note that its a vanilla games, i dont have any mods installed

Have you verified the game files? Since you only say that you've spent time trying to fix but not what you've done it's kind of difficult to suggest things without repeating what you've already done.

Is it a specific type of gen? Did you overfill the build area or is there plenty of build volume allotted?

90% sure it's due to power grid corruption, it happens sometimes

Grab plugin number 5 "power grid tools" here https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/17777?tab=files , it can detect such corruption and repair it, at least it did the job in my game

i did verified the games file but unfortunately it doesnt work, yeah its for all generator not specifi, and for the settlement itself, theres no complex building, i only build some transmitter radio, garden, bed, and some wooden floor and iron wall, and i only build 2 prefabs building

There's a console command you'll need to use when it's installed, the instructions are on the main page of the mod

Rebuild the settlement's complete wiring, remove all generators and patch cords, and start over.

I this your 1st time playing F4 ?
If it is there are mods intended only to fix or patch the base game, without changing the game
If crashing is repeating but with another problem then:
"verify files" can help.
(I would even suggest "verifying files" on weekly basis)

However, after you are OK with Vanila and have enough of it then modding is a Blast.
From massive Graphic mods that are almost next-gen to intricate extra missions, weapons armors, economy, you name it.
F4 has thousands of mods on Nexus alone, thus in this respect the Skyrim is the limit.
Ooopos, meant the SKY is the limit

[Aegyssus]

Yes, " the unofficial patch " is a must IMHO!

Only install the overaching mods like the unofficial patch if it does *everything* that you have wrong with the game, imo.

You probably just need to do as the other poster suggested and remove all the electrical wires everywhere and start over.

Does this happen if you load a save from before you built that area or before this started occurring? If you can, load a manual save up from before, and see if it isn't just a broken save file.
