Emulator

I am one of those people. using vista x64 however it manages to completely crash the system requiring a hard reset. I tried the very latest versions of the emu tried to see if older drivers would do anything but they have not. the archives don't go far back enough to access what i have heard to be usable drivers.

i have the same problem...

What version of the video driver are you using? Try updating your Video Driver to the latest version and see what happens...

I said I tried with several versions of video driver. It went down the last and did not walk, so we also tested before and there.

(Sorry for my English, I am using a translator because I speak Spanish)

I tested in ubuntu and neither worked. I tried the nvidia driver and the one by default and also hangs.

The flaw is different, here does not get the black screen, but if everything is frozen and the sound trance (repeating) for a few seconds (rather than windows).

So definitely not a driver error or windows.
As I said emulator is a problem with the video card ...

i share joacos problem exactly

Well, I noticed something else:

With the OpenGL plugin when it hangs and the error does not return to the game, the emulator crashes and close it by force. But at least in this case is never necessary to restart the pc.

With the plugin DirectX 9 or 11 when it hangs, sometimes windows error appears that the driver was recovered and neither the PC nor the emu are hung, so you can continue playing (if not killed in those few seconds you xD). But sometimes fails to receive the windows error and the pc hangs and no choice but to restart.

Sorry for the horrible translation ...

why is no dev checking into this?

Going to do something?
I see that the only solution would be to change my video card ...

Try newest SVN, its work for me

I get same problem in dolphin 2.0
but the GT240 is working very well in dolphin r6252

Still an issue, now it's more along the lines of temporarily freezing and resuming with graphical glitches on-screen.

Refer to comment #16 in issue 4413 if you're talking about the recent regression in the DX11 backend's stability (which can cause video memory corruption, at least with recent NVIDIA drivers).

It's unlikely to be directly related to this old issue...

Hmmm, on second thought, I just remembered you say that you're using Windows XP, meaning that DX11 shouldn't be an option for you (as in, issue 4413 may not be the "cause")...

In this case, it likely will be "hard" to find out what the exact problem is without some debugging... Could Dolphin be somehow triggering issues/regressions in recent video drivers? :/
