Ok, so about a week ago I downloaded ePSXe 1.7.0 and some iso PS1 games. everything was working amazingly and all was good. four days ago however It decided to never work again, it runs, it starts up but once the game (and this is every game) tires to go to the title menu it just stops. does not freeze, does not crash, log says its running fine, it just plain stops. I have been looking online for solutions and I have been fruitless in finding the similar problem, I have even stumped my friends that use emulators all the time and have a lot of know how. I re downloaded the emulator, the plugins and the games, it did not change anything. I even tried around six different versions of it, no change. I even tried a different emulator PCSXR, and that had the same problem. I am completely lost, I think that it's more likely than not my computer that's the problem. I'm not sure what specs someone would need, so ill just post what I can think of.

OS : Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit Service Pack 1
Model : HP Pavilion dv7 Notebook PC
Processor : Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-2670QM CPU @ 2.20GHz 2.20 GHz
Ram : 8.00GB
64-bit

If someone could please help me I would greatly appreciate it!

p.s. if it helps my Project64 works fine.
