System freezes after submiting crash reports

Monyan · May 2014

It happened to me 5 times from tomorrow. The worst thing is I had to force shutdown my machine every time it happens. I goes like: "Submit" and I see my desktop for a short time, and suddenly everything freezes, including a cursor. Then I have to force shutdown the system etc. The crashes I reported occurred after battles (3), while running in a city (1) and after a conversation with NPC (1), so they look like vary, but the result after filling the report form is always terribly the same.

Windows 8
8 GB RAM
AMD Phenom II X4 965 3.40 GHz
AMD Radeon HD 7700

Anyone of you has a similar freezing problem?

Edit: Before the patch 1.1.2. I could report normally in similar cases but the cases was very very rare (3 or 4 times from the beginning).

TESO froze my system 6th time now. I was just running around doing quest when the crash occurred. I clicked "Submit" and everything froze, force shutdown. I'm not sure if my reports reach Zen.

Same issue. Had this over three time today in the space of a few hours. I had to let my PC just sit frozen for about 5 mins before it sort of got responsive again.

Normally it would re-initialize itself, but with ESO a system reboot is inevitable. Sometimes it takes some time for the game to finally close and the crash message from the driver to appear. 640x480 resolution with artifacts is nice too...

You're right. No need to shutdown. I had 7th issue now and I just had to wait.

You're damn right! Thanks for the clue

I've taken to keeping my task manager open while in game. If you run into a crash (which always seems to be when ESO pushes my memory usage up to 90%-100%) ending ESO's process will allow you to stave off a reset, but it does still take time for ESO to completely close and release the RAM it was using.
