Grey screen of death

[Hikaru]

In 3 of the 4 games I have for emulation I am given a grey screen of death of sorts; the screen goes grey and a window saying "Dolphin.exe has stopped working" appears and hides itself behind the grey screen until the screen is clicked or a button is pressed.
----------------------------
here are the games I have & possibly helpful info

Pikmin2 -works perfectly, game runs faster than normal speed most of the time, miniscule lagg when 80+ moving objects are onscreen

Super Mario Sunshine -grey screen of death appears when "press start" comes onscreen

Zelda Windwaker -grey scren appears after the "dolby surround pro logic 2" banner comes up

Zelda Twilight Princess -grey screen appears in the same place as in windwaker

cpu: Intel core 2 duo cpu t7250@2.00ghz 2ghz

I'm using Dolphin-r4560, settings on are: enable dual core, enable idle skipping, unlimited jit cache, hle the ipl, jit recompiler, lock threads to core, optimize quantizers, dsp on thread

If you know what the problem is or have any idea on how to fix it plz post!

What version do you use? What are your PC specs? What are Dolphin settings you use? You should tell more about your problem

use d3d9, and lower the graphics to min.
