Dolphin keeps crashing on me and I'm not sure why

[SFrob]

I recently started using Dolphin, with little success. The only game I've been trying to play is The Legend Of Zelda : Wind Waker, but either the game itself freezes with a black or gray screen, or Dolphin itself crashes. I have tried multiple settings configurations from this forum and other sources with no luck. I'm running it on Windows 8 and my PC hardware includes a i7-4770k, GTX770 and 32Gb of RAM. I've also tried Dolphin 3.5, 4.0, and 4.0.2, but I keep getting these same issues. Any help would be great.
