Constant "Dolphin has stopped working" crashes with newest version

[Caranthir]

I have recently upgraded from dolphin 3.0 to the newest revision as of yesterday (don't remember the number), and I have noticed that the emulator crashes a ton now. Almost every 15 minutes or less, windows will pop up saying that dolphin has stopped working, and it shuts it down. After the window goes away, I can see that dolphin resumes normally about 1/2 a second before being shut down by Windows.

I really liked the newer version as my games work much better on it, but I have reverted to the old version because it rarely ever crashes. Is there a fix for this? If not, I just want to let the devs know about this. Thanks.

These are my Specs:
Intel Core i7 2nd generation 2 Ghz
8 Gigs RAM
Nvidia GT 555M
Windows 7 Professional 64-bit

My dolphin (Version 3.0 r631) settings:
Config:
Enable Dual Core - on
Enable Ide Skipping - off
Enable Cheats - on
Framelimit - 60
Use FPS for limiting - off
Skip GC BIOS - on
CPU Emulator Engine - JIT Recompiler

Use Panic Handlers - off

All of these games had crashing:
Super Mario Sunshine (GC)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles: My Life as a King (Wiiware)
Fire Emblem: Radiant Dawn (Wii)
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker (GC)
Final Fantasy Crystal Chronicles (GC)
(that's all the games I have)

I did notice that Fire Emblem played much more smoothly graphically (When it worked) than it did in 3.0/

Post your Dolphin settings. Also, which games are you trying to play?

When I upgraded from 3.0, I did copy/paste my User folder, could that have anything to do with the crashing?

[Starscream]

Yes. Just copy your user/GC folder for GC game saves and your user/Wii folder for Wii game saves.

EDIT:I have just tested it and so far, no crashing. Thanks, I think it's fixed.
