I'm hoping I can get some kind of resolution on this because I've used Dolphin off and on for over a year now with no problem like this one.

Specs
-------
Quad 6600 2.4ghz
ATI Radeon HD 5770
Newish power supply (name brand 700w)
8 GB DDR2 Ram
Win7 64bit
Turtle Beach Montego DDL

So I pulled out my old GC library out of boredom and started playing this last month. I got through Zelda Windwaker and Twilight Princess and messed around with trying to get Star Fox to run good since so much progress has been made. Everything ran fine and 90% consistent, no crashes. Then I pulled out Eternal Darkness since that has been playable for a while now, I got through the whole game but noticed a good bit of crashing which I thought was just because of it being newly playable. The whole time BTW I'm tweaking setting here and there.

So finally the last game I've been trying out is my copy of Arc Rise Fantasia for Wii. Played about the first hour with a couple crashes and played with the settings, but settings didn't change anything and still got increasing random crashes in the 2nd and 3rd hour of the game. Now I'm to the point where I can't play 10 minutes of ARF without a crash, I've tried revisions from 6505 to 7540 about 6 different rev. over all, same thing. I'm at my wits end with this game, and no one else seems to be encountering this. Any ideas big or small would be appreciated.

CLIFF NOTES
-EDIT: I did try making a 2nd ISO of ARF as well, same thing
-Dolphin has always ran very stable on my system
-Made it through a few games in my library recently no crashing
-Started crashing a good bit on Eternal Darkness SR
-Now trying to play through Arc Rise Fantasia, 3 hours in crashes every 1-10 minutes randomly
-Have tried many different revisions and settings

Ok, I figured it out guys, thanks for all your help (sarcasm anyone?). After many tears and cuss words I tried checking the option for "Render to Main Window" and for some reason that has done the trick, no other setting seemed to matter. 2 hours later and no crashing, woohoo. I'm guessing it is probably system specific, and I have a suspicion it is related to my Catalyst drivers, but if anyone else has this problem hopefully they find this thread.
