I just spent the last couple of months with a problem where ESO would crash my PC and cause it to do a hard reboot, even though I have turned off the "restart in case of" feature. This crash would be caused by a variety of things - switching between characters being the biggest, but sometimes using a wayshrine or even just logging in a particular character (was different ones at different times).

I did everything that I found through my research.

I switched to Windowed from Full Screen.
I pointed my start icon to ESO64.exe and set it to Run As Administrator.
I reduced my graphics settings to High instead of Ultra (where Ultra was set by my GPU utility and not by me).
I removed all of my add-ons.
I ran error detection on ESO from the launcher.
I uninstalled and reinstalled ESO.

It seemed this last one did the trick. Took about 12 hours, but I was able to change characters and use a wayshrine without crashing my system (which is a fairly robust system, BTW - GeForce GTX 970, 16GB RAM, etc etc). I was even able to reinstalled two of my add-ons (pChat and Clock, which should both be in the game anyway. Who the hell wants to talk to @Suilebhain when they are talking to my character? And it helps to know what the time is IRL).

All was well until YESTERDAY when I downloaded the new client patch.

Back to Square One.

Zenimax, fix your damned game. Until then, not one red cent for Tamriel Plus from me.

    I was having issues with this for a while but found my wireless adapter was heating up and causing the system to crash. Only did it while playing ESO. I upgraded my cooling and replaced my cheesy wireless USB dongle to a card and havent had issues since.

    Is your GPU properly cooled? I've had some crashes because of that while playing and when I touched it it was really hot. I have 3 fans on my casing and a 3rd party one cooling the GPU but I had to actually open it on one side to get the board at acceptable levels.
