Does anyone know if the 32gig of ram make a difference in this game? I know it's tough to answer but i'm curious myself.

I'm usually the first one in loading in so it's not load times i'm looking to change; it is the FPS spikes that happen in this game. For example running around with 80fps then down to 40fps when running into a crowd(undaunted area), then back up to 60+fps.
I've also heard sync monitors affect this game big time.

Tbh I think this has something to do with corrupted installation or worst case scenario, ram going bad but let's start at the obvious culprits first.
Did you already try repairing or reinstalling the client?
If you already did and it didn't fix the problem then read on.
Do you have enough memory to run ESO? Did you somehow tampered with virtual memory settings?
Minimum should be 8gb without anything running in the background that is eating your memory. If requirements are met and you've somehow tampered with virtual memory do this.
This PC> Properties> Advance System Settings> Advanced (tab)> Under Performance, click settings> Advanced (tab)> Under Virtual Memory, click change. Check the Automatically manage paging file size for all drivers.
Do you have an OS installed on that SSD? Did you use the same OS where your ESO is installed while trying it on a different computer? (Windows installed on SSD)
If yes then first of all, try turning off anti-virus. If that didn't work then try reinstalling drivers, specifically graphic drivers. If that also didn't solve the issue then try running chkdsk and repair windows image.
Did you use the same SSD on the other PC where your ESO is already installed? (No Windows installed on SSD)
If this is the case then it might be a bad SSD. First of all, try checking for bad sectors. If there is a bad sector then it's time to replace your SSD.
If above solutions didn't work then the last culprit is Ram corruption.
First indications are crashes, random restarts, and then BSOD. As symptoms gets worst, you'll frequently get more BSODs. This is the point where your programs are crashing that looked normal and you have no idea what is wrong because you already did every fix at the table.
So it's either your ram is making your game crash while playing or it just so happens that your ram is already going bad by the time you installed something. Using repair/reinstalling of client is worthless at his point because everything will get corrupted and you won't even know it because like I said, crashes will always appear normal. As always, it's time to replace the faulty ram at this point.

Anyway there was just a new nvidia driver release for both pc's so I have upgrade that and lets see if that will help. who knows. I really want it to work, SSD is so much better, I see a real difference in load times.
I have tried everything you asked about and suggested. I may add that there are no problems in other games on the SSD. GTA V, Borderlands 2, Fallout 4 etc. These are definately also games that make use of instance loading a lot, so why are they continuing to work fine while ESO is the only one having these crashing on porting to other zones. Also it's only a problem when porting to other zones. Porting within same zones is never a problem and the game players wonderfully and stably in all other cases, no crashes and fine performance.

Recently I've been getting weird crashes..... changing zones, porting to houses, travelling to a group etc
From playing around with stuff I've found the best cure is to run a "game repair". The thing that worries me, is I've been playing since Beta and until recently I've never needed to constantly repair the game.
My previous PC's were always above system requirements, this PC is SO far above them it's ridiculous, yet now I have odd crashes.
I am currently investigating all my addons, so far I haven't found any culprit.
Edit:- My usual ping is between 50 - 120

However just to be sure, what is your in-game ms? If you don't know how to; to view it go to Settings> Interface> Game Performance> Turn On Latency. Also do this standard troubleshoot for your internet. Windows+R> Type CMD> Ctrl+Shift+Enter then select Yes> Type ping elderscrollsonline.com -t then hit Enter. Now check if you get any timeouts/interrupted connections.
Also one last thing. What is your computer specs for both of the PC's involved?

Doing ping elderscrollsonline.com -t in an elevated command prompt gives constant "Request timed out." on both desktop and laptop pc. Not sure what that is supposed to mean then? I can always login and play the game and I don't get disconnects.
As mentioned the crashing is only happening sometimes when porting to other zones. I can play for many hours all day in the same zone and no crashing at all, but as soon as I port another zone it is bound to happen. Im guess it's about every 10th porting on average that results in a crash, this includes going into outlaw refuge, using wayshrines to another zone, going into delves, public dungeons and dungeons, or zoning through entering another zone (on the zone exit/entrance).
