Dolphin locks up my system?

[dYw.Fiend]

So I installed dolphin and tried to play Donkey Kong Returns for the Wii on my computer, and everything seems to work fine Graphics are good, no gameplay lag. Sound is a little bit buggy sometimes but everything else seems to be working good. How ever I can only play for about 5 minutes give or take and then Dolphin crashes and my system locks up.

Im running

Intel I7- 930
8 gigs of ram
32 bit windows 7
512mb Radeon HD 4850 graphics card.

Any tips or advice would be appreciated

thank you

You have 8 gigs of ram with 32 bit windows? Only 3,25 gigs are used that way by the operating system. As for the symptoms it seems like something is overheating (cpu or gpu are problematic) could be an insufficient psu or a RAM problem. Here i never experienced system lock ups with dolphin, moreover in regular basis. And most importantly does it happen with every single game?

My top three culprits would be a memory failure, power supply going bad, or overheating (most likely NB).
