Hi! I just got started with Dolphin about a week ago, and I've been experiencing some performance issues. I've only played Gamecube games on it so far, and most of the games run at a pretty good FPS with a few occasional stutters, but most of them have a habit of crashing. I'm not sure why it does this, and the graphics card itself seems to crash as well. I've messed around with the Dolphin settings a lot the past few days, but I haven't found a way to stop it from crashing. We updated our graphics card but it didn't seem to help. As far as I can tell, our PC should be able to handle it:
COMPUTER SPECS
Windows 7 64-bit
Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
3.0GB RAM
ATI Radeon HD 4800 Series
And my default Dolphin (v. 3.0) settings:

I'm really inexperienced with this emulator, so if you want to know some specific specs or comment on my Dolphin settings feel free. So far the worst performing games are Metroid Prime 1 & 2, which have a terrible framerate (which rarely happens on my other games) and are constantly crashing.
Any help would be very much appreciated!
