I have had the same thing happen to me several times. When I try to
reload the game, a message comes up saying something like--you drop to
the ground from exhaustion. If I go into my save game in the daggerfall
directory, most of the files aren't there, including savetree. So there
is no way to recover that saved game. I have never noticed if there is a
pattern to these crashes (mage guild quests etc.) but I did have one in
a dungeon during a main quest. There are also two people playing on my
machine, and he has never had this problem. Out of the six save game
slots, this only seems to happen on two of them. I don't think there is
a solution to the problem, as the crashes seem random. It's a real pain
when you only have access to three save game slots and you have to use
two in the dungeons just in case you crash while saving. Hopefully, this
is one of the problems Bethesda is working on.
