Freezing on load screen - Dustman's Cairn

Post » Mon Feb 25, 2013 8:15 pm

So I'm on the Proving Honor quest for the companions. Farkas and I travel to Dustman's Cairn, but when I enter the door, the game just freezes on the load screen. Music continues playing, smoke continues swirling... What the heck?
I've tried to COC myself inside, and it freezes. I have no idea what would cause this. Every other cell seems to work just fine.

Here's my load order:

I was running ESF Companions prior to receiving this quest, but it would not register completed Radiant quests for the companions and let me advance, so I cleanly uninstalled it prior to turning in my last assignment. That's the only thing I can think of, but I don't know why it would affect loading a cell. Anyone have any ideas? I'd like to continue on with the game... And I really do not want to start over.
