World is half loaded-/reloadui time consuming

mister-optimismb14_ESO
Ever since the second to last beta, I've been having issues where the game will freeze for 2-3 seconds and also where the world will only load half of it's resources.

Either I'll be running through an area and realize that I see no trees or enemies and I need to reload my ui, or I have run into an area that is completely unrendered (it's just a washed out texture.).
This can get pretty annoying as the game doesn't register anything in the area and I'll end up under a bridge or in a tree or I'll run into a camp full of enemies and die as soon as I reload.

It's important to note that this issue is very inconsistent. It doesn't happen all the time and restarting my computer doesn't do much that /reloadui wouldn't do. Like I said, it's only started as the game got closer to launch. I played with perfect performance before the second to last wave.

So my question is this. Is this just a kink that will work itself out as performance enhancements roll out or is it my computer? Was there a change in the optimization in the build that my computer just can't handle?

here's my rig.
Intel 2.4ghz dual core processor
Windows 7 64bit
8 GB Ram
Nvidia 560 TI with 2gb memory.

Any insight would be appreciated!

    I forgot to add. This issue also seems to happen more at night when I play and it happens regardless of graphical settings.

    I think a 2.4ghz dual core processor may be pushing it, performance wise. But the likely bigger issue is server performance, as it's launch week.

    I'm still suffering from this issue. No quick fix seems to fix the issue for me. I'm actually considering buckling down and buying a new processor. But will that fix this? Is this indeed an issue with my processor? This severely hampers my play time as I constantly have to reload my ui to load the world. This can take upwards of 5+ minutes each time.

    Still have no clues about this issue. It is difficult to find threads with this issue.

    you cant tell if there is an issue with your processor without stress testing/benchmarking it. Probably worth cleaning out the dust and crap from your fans inside. Dual core 2.4 isn't amazingly high but if your settings are tweaked for your system then this shouldn't cause too much issues i believe.

    UPDATE: After further testing, I determined the issue may lie with the software on my side. Which part, I'm not sure. I had a dual boot for windows XP and 7 so I'm not sure if that would have an effect on performance or not. Regardless, I removed XP from my system. Next, I did a clean install of windows 7 and ESO to ensure everything was fresh. Next, I removed my anti-virus and put down my firewall. Issue is non-existent now. Whether it was just an issue with Microsoft security essentials or my firewall, or if it was my program files, it's hard to tell. But with those things gone, my game is performing perfectly.
