Constant Crashes and Freeze

Good day everyone, I know this topic has been discussed a lot over the years - I have gone through them already but still am having the same issues.

Constant Freezes - I cannot play for more than 1hr without my system crashing.

My system:
CPU: AMD FX 8370e
GPU: Nitro+ RX480 8gb (latest driver is installed)
Mobo: Asrock 990FX Extreme 4
RAM: 2x 8gb 1866 sticks
OS: Win 10 Pro (Drive C)
Game: Steam dedicated HDD (1tb 7200rpm)

Addons via Minion: Skyshards, Lorebooks, Advanced UI, Destinations, CraftStore

Originally, I was running the game at Win 8.1pro. After I experienced constant crashes, I decided to format and do a fresh install for Win 10 Pro. But the same thing happens.

I can play my other games just fine (Overwatch, Fractured Space, Skyrim, Fallout series) without encountering any errors or freezes. I even did a 12hr stress test on my system to see if I can replicate the freeze up but the test went fine. If my OS or hardware is at fault, I'd like to think that running at 100% for half a day would freeze my PC up, but it didn't.

I tried everything from running the game as "Admin"; D3D9; D3D11; outside of steam, without the launcher, within Steam, With the launcher.
Reducing the Graphics quality from Ultra to High to Medium

I have countlessly repaired my installation, downloaded the game installer (3x) already - I just finished my 3rd download from steam a few minutes ago.

The only thing I haven't tried is to run the game in Win7 Compatibility mode -

My questions:
1. Anybody out there encountering the same issues I am having
2. What are the possible solution to it - outside on un-installing the game or buying an Intel Proc

    Same here, game keeeep crashing.
    so tired of this ***, a while ago everything was working fine, and now, poof, not anymore.

    I now completly wiped my HD and only installed windows (10, probably worst choice ever) and ESO, still crashing.
    I do notice it crashes a lot more and a lot faster when in dungeons...

    tried with old drivers, newer drivers and the latest drivers for graphical card, tried the admin, witouth launcher and all those other "tricks" too, nothing helps.

    before my complete reinstall, windows gave the notification: windows has blocked eso.exe from accessing the graphical hardware. and then the game freezes. Now, the game just freezes, seems the same, but not the notification pop-up....
