I've tried everything. I have about 50 mods, none of them alter Whiterun in any way. I've made the SKSE patch with a skse.ini and raised the memory. Decreased actor/item/etc. fade. Nothing helped. Every time I get near the companions who are fighting the giant, I get a CTD. I used LOOT and tes5 edit.

Run Skyrim three or four times to get three or four logs, then look at the last couple lines in each file. If the same script is showing up in each crash, for example the ehs_staggerControl.psc script mentioned in the log you linked to, then the crash has something to do with that script. If it's not the same script every time, then it's not a script issue, or it's just a matter of too many scripts running at the same time. Other possible crash causes could include memory problems (for example, increasing uGridsToLoad beyond what your system can handle) or corrupt save files.
ehs_staggerControl.psc seems to be from the Every Hit Staggers or Every Hit Staggers Extended mods. It is also linked to another mod called Action Combat. which I see you have installed. If that is the script that shows up in every crash log, then that's the mod responsible.
