Topic: SVP might have killed my Laptop but I want to know for sure.
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.
