Alan,
Mine does the same thing- it loads the main menu, lets me start a new game, shows the loading screen, then crashes. I found out that it was the cutscenes that were causing mine to crash. Now I just hit the ESC button as soon as the loading screen is done, and it gets me right into the game.
Unfortunately, this means I can't watch the movies, so I miss out on the plot.
