Super Mario Galaxy Cpu thread error

[broodthekiller]

Im running dolphin 6061 (newest i believe) on a Asus G50v gaming laptop and it usually handles the majority of the games I play at full speed. However, whenever I try to play super mario galaxy (im loving this game so far btw), after a little bit of gameplay, it will crash with this error message:

FIFO is overflown by GatherPipe !
CPU thread is too fast, try changing the watermark tightness in the game properties.

So i went to the properties, iv tryed lowering and raising the watermark tightness but nothing seems to work. I always end up getting the error. iv tryed 0,100,200, and even 1000 but everytime......CRASH.

This is pretty much my dolphin settings exept i left "disable fog" unchecked and I have OpenCL turned on.

NOTE: I am updating my video driver software, but I just recently got my laptop so I think I already have the latest but I'm going to update because im thinking that OpenCL might be answer. I can't be sure though and i'll let you know if this is the problem.

Try turning panic handlers off and see what happens .

use build under my signature,Or in latest svn set watermark tightness to 1000(under iso->properties) it won't crash just hang for sec or two.
