Well I tried Dolphin 2.0 and got a freeze in a manner similar to current version. Though unlike 4.0, no panic handle was generated nor did it crash. It just froze. (exits full screen and can't get back or interact with screen until I kill Dolphin in task manager)
I find it highly irregular that something would be wrong in my video card or drivers. Because I've played Battlefield 3 and even the BF4 beta and not had problems aside from the fact that they don't quite run at optimum speed due to my video card being on the low end, but I don't get freezes or crashes in them and they make use of the same features of the card that Dolphin uses. I haven't bought BF4 though. So I haven't played the crash ridden version. Odd that a retail version of the game would be less stable then it's beta... lolz
I guess Dolphin is just plain picky. I'll try and move the card back to the first PCI-E slot (even though it shouldn't make any difference) and see what effect that has. I did mention in a edited post that I used a program to test video card memory. So video ram is not at fault here either... I've completely uninstalled and did a clean install of the Nvidia drivers. No dice. Dolphin still mis-behaves.
As for when the error occurs. It's consistent and not consistent at the same time. Consistent in being the same error that causes the crash every time, but the timing of the error seems random. In GoldenEye 007, I would sometimes make it to the end of the training mission and other times it would crash before even getting through half of it. Heck it's even happened during the loading screen. Though the only consistent part of it thus far is that I have failed to make it completely past the training mission. Once the first real mission starts it seems to crash out more often. But alas it's hard to tell since I've only made it past the training mission twice so insufficient data to really make a determination on that. The only thing I've noticed is that GC games don't crash as often as the Wii games.
I've done lightmap renders in 3DS Max and done other things in the background while it does so and not encountered any freeze or crash. So motherboard/ram seems fine. Definitely seems isolated to the video card. Since otherwise I would be having problems in things other then Dolphin...
Going back to my old card is a non option by the way. It recently failed in my mothers computer. Massive graphics glitches during simple Facebook games and then started glitching out on the desktop with no program open. Seems like the RAM or GPU died. Though it didn't blue screen or crash. The graphics just got messed up. Definitely a far cry from what's happening on this video card. Only Dolphin is having the problems...instead of everything like with the old card on the other computer.
