I didn't mean to say your program is a killer. If anyone is, I'm the killer for not realizing I was everexherting my laptop. It's just how I worded it.
Oh god no I have nothing against your program. I freakin love it. If I didn't like it and didn't want to use it so badly then I wouldn't have made this thread asking you guys so many questions.
You certainly make a good point. When I first got this program I certainly wasn't expecting it to be so resource intensive. But I'm glad I know that now.
So is this coming down to the fact that I should just leave it alone and not try SVP again?
SVP was the only thing I ran that made it crash. Everything else I ran on the laptop always ran fine. Games ran great. I do a lot of video editing. SVP even ran well for the time it worked, but as soon as I used it everything went downhill.
I see. I guess it really all comes down to the fact that I'm still terrified of running SVP again.
Actually FurMark sounds like a grand idea.
Ah. Are you referring to lowering the quality of the video I play?
And to clarify, you suggested downloading AMD Overdrive to better control my gpu.
Would it help to set SVP to low priority? And/or limit the number of processors it uses?
Another question. Would it be better on my hardware to do the manual Avisynth script, with K-lite, ffd, mvtools and all that? Or is it the same exact thing and won't make a difference?

I have to agree with out on laptop quality. Even my model specifically has had overheating problems with other people, especially with the quad cores like mine.
I know what you mean about soft surfaces but my laptop barely leaves its cooling pad. No big deal, just lettin you know.
Ok so SVPmark will basically tell me what I can handle on my laptop? I think I will try that then.
I'll do a stability test then. Another note: My laptop is much better now than it was before. Before it died, the boot up started to be kinda slow. And my friends suspected a virus being on it. But now it's litereally like new. Should mention that it got a full system restore during repair. Though I will do that stability test now while it is still like new. Thank you.
Are you saying I should do one of those stability tests? Also, do you think it's worth giving SVP another shot, now that I'm more aware of my hardware usage?
Thank you for your input.
Hello. So I got all excited to use frame interpolation on my videos. I researched and downloaded this SVP. I did work well on some videos. But soon enough one playing a video crashed the computer: everything froze. I didn't evne go to blue scree. It was just a dead freeze. I thought this was a one time thing so I ignorantly kept playing videos after rebooting my laptop. Eventually it froze again. And after rebooting my comp it started to freeze without running SVP and during every time I would try something extensive on my computer. By the next day my laptop was dead. The laptop would boot but teh screen would not turn on. Up troubleshooting with HP support, we concluded that the motherboard was dead. So I sent it in to HP where my motherboard, hard drive, memory, and processor were replaced. Now my Laptop is back and good as new. But, of course, my love for messing with videos is too much and I am still curious about this frame interpolation. But I really want to know if it truly was running SVP and frame interpolation that killed my laptop, or if my laptop was already dying and this just accelerated it. And if there's any precautions I can take where I can still run SVP but not harm my hardware, I would love some input.
My laptop specs are:
HP Pavilion DV6t Quad Edition
Intel Core i7-2820QM CPU @ 2.30GHz
6 GB memory
Radeon HD 6770m graphics card
Windows 7 64bit.
I'm sorry this is so long, I just want to explain it well. Also, for reference, the first time it froze, I was running The Hobbit HD trailer on SVP. The last time, I was playing my Inception dvd through a connected tv.
And I'm not mad at SVP in any way. I don't hold it responsible if using it killed my laptop. I blame myself for not realizing it.
Thank you for reading.
