You have Dawnguard Optimized named Dawnguard.bsa. This is the same as the official DLC, and therefore will crash the game when Dawnguard is enabled and your Dawnguard Optimized. Rename the BSA to Dawnguard Optimized.bsa or simlar. Do the same thing for Hearthfires Optimized and Dragonborn Optimized.

Did you create BSAs from the optimized textures, and for the DLC did you create a BSA from the optimized textures plus other resources or just the optimized textures. If you created new BSAs how did you do this? 

 

The general recommendation is not to create new BSAs from the optimized textures (vs. using loose files in a folder or archive file) , although it can be done if you are careful, and not to create optimized DLC BSAs with the non-texture resources plus optimized textures (this can also be done, but you have to be especially careful how it is done).

Since that is the case, you need to extract those textures, as the DDSopt BSAs have issues with Skyrim and will not do a thing. If you wish too, you can then repack them with Archive.exe if you like the BSAs (saves disk space). You can extract them by going to the Archives tab, Right-click, select Extract, and Extract them to the same directory. Then delete the BSA.
