Try using FurMark to test your display card openGL function.

Make sure your display card is stable.
Also, update your display card driver.
If it still not working, try to remove 1 display card.

In any case that's a graphics driver problem and not one with Dolphin. I use the OpenGL plugin all the time.
Or this issue could become an issue for supporting ATI's new drivers, but it sounds to me like ATI just fucked up and it's their responsibility to fix it.

no its compatibility issue with them
since 10.5 drivers ati introduced 120hz refresh rate support.
that is the posibility of being a problem.
before gpu crashes it tries to set max possible refresh but it fails and crash.i do not know how dolphin works with refresh rates?
