Video card issue? Perhaps you're running too hot? That's the first thing I'd check on if one minute into your system performing under load it crashes. If that's not it, then might be time to run a repair to see if you have any issues with the game files. Also, it may sound silly, but turn off all addons before starting to see if it helps. You can at least rule them out as an issue if you still crash.

Very good question. Everytime before I play I have to run a repair or else ESO will crash in 1-20 minutes. This started happening somewhere around Summerset launch. I have tested this very consistently, everytime I don't repair it WILL crash, but everytime I repair it doesn't crash (with a very very few exceptions: I have had two crashes when I did repair, one after playing for 6 hours straight, the other after playing 8 hours straight, but that is almost to be expected to happen once in a while for most games. But all the other times I did a repair, which is like 50 times now I have had no crashes. Without doing a repair it has crashed EVERYTIME during 1-20 minutes).

I tried reinstalling but imagine: it didn't help

and after reinstalling I had zero addons so it was totally new and fresh, I also made sure to delete the eso folder in documents before the new install. Little did it help.)

It sucks to wait for a repair everytime, but at least it does work for me.
