Reinstall the program.
Alternatively, share the scene for others to test.

its not one specific scene, its any shortcut to 3DS max or existing .max file
ive already reinstalled

Install 3ds Max on a different computer and boot it from there. You can port the installation to a flash drive or the like.
I think I'm out of suggestions at this point.
Maybe your hardrive is going bad? Bad sectors could cause issues even after reinstallation...Worst case scenario reinstall the OS.

run a ram diagnostic.
i had a bad ram stick once that 'caused a loop and fried my hdd while transferring files and i was getting the same type of errors prior to that.
Are you double clicking files to open them, or launching, then going file > open?
