A generic error like that could mean one of many things. You'd only have a chance to narrow it down, by looking at your Event Log viewer.

Other than the a-typical checks, such as graphics driver, Direct X, sound drivers etc,; I'd think it may be related to Windows 8.

-Have you tried running in compatibility mode for Windows 7?
-File integrity check (think ESO launcher has one?)
-Discuss it on ESO forums?
