Computer freezes while running Dolphin

[hkl8324]

Tested SVN 4771 and 2.0 RC1 in Windows XP SP3 and Windows 7
While using DirectX 9 the computer freeze completely (mouse cannot move, harddisk light is OK but i need a hard reset) at random point on both Windows XP and 7.
While using Open GL Windows XP freeze completely (same as above) and Windows 7 reports that the display card driver has problem and it is resetted. (dolphin crash)

I tested about 10 games and all of them hang the computer.

It dolphin incompatible with my display card?

Spec : Inter Core i3 530 @ 2.93GHz
Inno3d Nvidia Geforce GT 240 (Using Driver Version
196.21)

Computer Games and PCSX2 run normally on this machine.

try using older drivers,sometimes new drivers break things instead of fixing'em

Sounds like a bad nvidia driver.

Tested 3 older display drivers and 4 svn version (even compiled and tested one svn in Linux)
But all combination hangs the computer...

then it must be video card, from what i remember umbrella2 had exact same problem with gt 240...he switched to 9400gt and his pc didn't hang

Yes that must be the display card...cuz when I used the intergrated GPU there is not problem...(though it runs very slow)

I tested again and I get a BSOD...
Event Viewer Says Something like this

Description:
The driver nv4_disp for the display device \Device\Video0
got stuck in an infinite loop.

This usually indicates a problem with the device itself
or with the device driver programming the hardware
incorrectly. Please check with your hardware device
vendor for any driver updates.

But at native resolution I runs like 50% of the realtime speed...
Can it be lowered more? like 320x240 perhaps?
