Dolphin Crashes When Another Program Is Opened

[days_of_reckoning]

After installing new ram my dolphin has been crashing seemingly randomly. It used to crash after the computer had been running for a while and I hadn't opened dolphin previously and I could just restart my computer and it would work. Lately it crashes whenever it and Teamspeak are open at the same time. I had been using both the night before and the only change to my computer was windows updates. Teamspeak never crashes only dolphin although occasionally if i persist in trying to open both my computer will blue screen. I don't know what could be causing this issue. obviously the new RAM is a possibility but it passed a memory testing tool with no errors and the problems I've had have only occurred with Dolphin.

Are you sure the RAM isn't bad?

I actually just finished testing that. I ran my computer with each stick of RAM individually. They all had the problem so its either all bad old and new or its something else

Testing them individually is good but you must also rule out the motherboard RAM slot as it might (also) be defect instead of the sticks. It's more likely that the sticks are defect though but it's good to know what causes it exactly.

What BSOD message are you getting?

Here is a log of the errors

Well, one Microsoft support thread suggested booting into Safe Mode to see if using low resolution fixes the BSODs, which would indicate that there's a bug in your GPU driver causing the error; however...

a bad update is probably the culprit. If you have a System Restore point, you could try rolling back to remove all of the updates you've gotten since the BSOD started to see if that fixes it.

It has been persistent through many windows updates the only thing is that it used to conflict with other programs but now it conflicts with one i actually want to use along side it. And I did a fresh windows install since I got a new hard drive and it still persisted.

I did just boot in safe mode and Dolphin did not crash when both teamspeak and dolphin were loaded.

Your PC has faulty hardware, then. Since you've already ruled out the RAM, it must be something else.

The problem or versions of it has also persisted across two hard drives and occurs when using either my GPU or the motherboards integrated graphics card. I find it hard to believe it could be a hardware problem when it only manifests itself in this tiny way.

If both the discrete and integrated GPUs have the problem, then you probably have either a faulty motherboard or a faulty driver that you installed again when you reinstalled Windows.
