I have finally got the emu to work... or so I thought. I loaded in Madden 09 and got the Madden 09 screen to come up. Then before finished loading my screen goes black for a second and the game window is now black but still showing that it is operating ( basing this off the fact that the window top bar is still counting fps and my cpu percentage). A message pops up down in my icon tray and reads that my graphics controller has stopped working and has now come back online, in fine print it list details and mentions something about igfx being the problem. I tried different config settings afterwords but couldn't even get the game to load as far as it did before. Any suggestions would be great. If needed I can list my laptop specs and what configuration I used for the emu. Thanks.

Try updating/changing your graphics card drivers, it is crashing for some reason

The problem seems to be:
1) GPU drivers not up to date.
2) GPU overheating. (Most likely the case.)
If 1) is the case, update GPU drivers. If 2) is the case, try placing the laptop somewhere else. Laptops generally have poor airflow, so you need to put it on a flat surface like a table. At the least, make sure the ventilation is not blocked by anything.

Vegeta: It's...one thousand and six.
Nappa: Wh-...really?
Vegeta: Yeah! Beat him up Nappa!
Nappa: Yay!

Oh it's a crappy Intel onboard huh, that explains it...try setting GSdx to DX9 mode but even if the specs say it supports all that, it rarely works properly when stressed...
