Dolphin crashing frequently

Hey I would really appreciate if someone helps me stop dolphin from crashing. I have an Amd a8-5550m apu with radeon tm hd graphics processor, radeon 8550g + 8750m dual graphics, with 6gb of ram. I am trying to play fire emblem path of radience but i cant play more than 5 to 10 mins without it crashing. I have look on many threads and all i get is people saying nempunk which i have never used anything with it. So I cant disable it.
=( help please!

You know, APUs aren´t the best for Dolphin when talking about performance. Which build you are using? Which settings?

Try using single core, this game doesn't like not being run at full speed. I'm not saying it'll be more playable on single core, I want to know if it stops the crashing.

so far i havent had a crash but it makes the game very laggy.

Well yes, you effectively cut the amount of CPU the game can use in half. This game is sensitive to timings, so running at less than full speed in dualcore causes it to crash.

Maybe a bad dump? It´s always good to make sure your game isn´t corrupt. (Generate a MD5 hash of your current dump with any MD5 hash generator of your choice, then compare what you get with others that are on pages like Redump or GameTDB).
