You could try the unofficial oblivion patch. You can find it on tesnexus.com
Apart from that, make sure that your drivers are up to date at nvidia.com and that directx is up to date too.

I bought the GOTY version in the sale too.

I had no issues getting the game to start, but I had an old saved game that it just loaded up.
I have had a good few problems with it though, where the games crashes out like you described I think it's steam related since I never had the same problems when I had the game installed outside of steam.

Maybe try find a way to install the game without steam?
I'm sure there is a way to extract the licence key that belongs to you and just you it on a normal install.
