The same applies to you Jodi, we need exact information about the crash. Tell us all you know. Did you see a Dolphin.exe has stopped working message, did you get black screen, where in the game did it crash, did you have a fps drop before crash etc. Just crashed won't help us much further.

Downgrade your Nvidia drivers to 332.21. http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/71701/en-us There's a known bug with newer ones that breaks Dolphin's GL backend in most cases; checking "Ignore Format Changes" often fixes it, but not for every game. I'm still not entirely sure if it's Dolphin's bug or Nvidia's.

Post a screenie of the crash window with all the details. It may help

I see that you are using Dolphin version 4.0-1569. Have you tried this with version 4.0.2? Not the version to recommend but as it is stable it might give less crashes. Of course try other stuff like what pauldacheez said first.

Just that I have played Luigi's Mansion with my Nvidia Geforce card on version 4.0.2 and it did not crash. Even though I'm using Windows 8.1, which is more likely to crash than Windows 7.

The problem could also lie in your ISO file. Super Mario Galaxy always gave me black screen somehow. Had to dump it again and again for it to work. Still don't know what went wrong there.
