Upon startup of MTA:SA it will crash and give the following crash dump -

I had been previously able to play MTA:SA but now it's crashing upon startup.
My game is a fresh/clean install.

I tried looking around the MTA:SA forum but haven't found anyone that's encountered the same crash.

Try using a clean game, no mods.
My bad.

Crash after MTA splash screen

        MTA crashes after the 'Stop playing with yourself' logo. Both single player and the MTA: Race ran fine before.

    Try downloading the latest DirectX Runtime files from Microsoft. Also check in Task Manager, if :gta_sa.exe process isn't already running.

    If you run at any substandard resolutions (e.g. 960x720), try to change your resolution to a commonly supported one (e.g. 640×480, 800×600, 1024×768, 1152×864, 1280×1024) by launching Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas in normal mode, setting the new resolution and exiting.

    If you are a user of Windows Vista or Windows 7, try the following:

        Enable Windows XP SP3 compatiblity mode for both Multi Theft Auto.exe and gta_sa.exe, setting their privilege level to "Run this program as an administrator".
        Configure Data Execution Prevention: Use the setting Turn DEP for all programs and services except those I select. Click add and find "Multi Theft Auto.exe" and "gta_sa.exe" and add them.
        Run MTASA as administrator.

Maybe this is your problem, and maybe it's also your solution.

Try to reinstall San andreas.. and then install MTA:SA
if not try to update your MTA.
