Game blackscreens constantly

Since the start of November my game has been constantly crashing to a black screen, in most cases no crash reporter. Usually have to end task to be able to do anything.
I have tried
- Removing add ons folder
- updating GPU drivers
- Checking my heating on my laptop (GTX1060 card, 16 gig memory)
- Repairing Installation

Seems to happen at random, regardless of zone, including inside tales of tribute (managed to go from top 1.5% to 5% because of freezes today alone, conveniently on last day before prizes).
This game is unplayable and just kept relogging during SKyrim event to not lose out but what is the point in paying for a game that just causes hate. There has been no change for the entire month except it takes longer to crash on average when I set my graphics down to low everything, which is also pointless since it looks like crap.
Current settings is just 1080, low everything except subsampling. Lower than what I was playing without issue before November.

    Our help article linked below has some troubleshooting that can help when dealing with performance issues on a laptop.

    What do I do if ESO is having performance issues on my laptop?

    Hi,
    The above fix did not help. Other things I have tried since:
    1. Full mem Check
    2. Changing the page file to manually be higher (more failures)
    3. DDU graphics driver and reinstalling different versions
    4. Cleaning fans incase of overheating, left casing off and now temps are eliminated as an issue temporarily
    5. Ran in compatibility mode
    6. Changed GPU registry timeout values to 60 seconds

    Some of these worked for a while then failed. Currently Testing removing the HDD page file completely. Been getting a lot of hard faults/s on my memory
