Perfect performance all week, today "Dolphin not working properly" - Terrornaught - 12-14-2013
Put Dolphin on my new computer on saturday, every game I've tried has worked pretty much perfect. Now today I start getting the "Dolphin not working message, the longest I can play for is 20 minutes sometimes only 5. I have deleted it reinstalled it, tested different games and no luck. My PC is cool and the cpu usage maxes out at about 50%. I do not understand why this has suddenly started happening.

Check to ensure your CPU and /or GPU arent overheating. Also run some stability programs like Prime, memtest and Furmark to ensure the reliability of your hardware/overclock

I uninstalled it again, and deleted everything dolphin related of my hard drive downloaded a slightly different version. Over an hour in and going strong the cpu is only using half the power it was using before, so I assume it was a cpu problem, wonder what caused that?! Popping out to burger king gonna leave kirby's air ride to play itself, fingers crossed it's still running when I get back.

I hope it is! Glad this problem has not happened to me! (except for a black screen on La-Mulana)

Just did it again! Took a couple of hours though cpu temp is 55ish, don't know what the problem is

I have had issues since 4.0 all 3 versions back than it was 5 minutes of play i'd get before it'd get a error and close down on me. Now that 4.0.2 has come out I can play up to 15 minutes before same thing happens. I play on a desktop not a laptop like you. They seem to slowly be fixing issue I been having. I'll continue to use 3.5 til they fix my issues.
