Topic: Frame drops for 1 second every 5-10 minutes, help

Hey, recently I've bought a new computer and I'm having an issue with it using SVP. Every 5 to 10 minutes the video playback will completely freeze for a second, to then continue working just fine for another 5 to 10 minutes. I use a pretty fresh install of Windows 10, and the default installation with MPC-HC. Specs are i7 7700K, 16GB of 3200Mhz RAM, and a GTX 1070. The media is played back from either an SSD or from an HDD in a NAS over LAN (same issue on both). I have SVP set to medium settings, and my CPU is under 20-30% load while playing back, and my GPU is under around 20% load. About 2GB of RAM is used by MPC-HC.

Video of a freeze:

Let me know if you want any more information about my system/settings etc. or if you want me to try something out, and I'll do so swiftly!
Thanks.

- ensure that it doesn't happen with SVP turned off
- turn on/off "D3D fullscreen exclusive" mode in EVR's properties

Confirmed it does not happen when SVP is turned off.
What's EVR and where do I find its properties?
Thanks

I've been trying it out with D3D Fullscreen enabled in the EVR properties since yesterday and it has completely fixed my issue!

Thanks guys! smile

Hmm, 3 questions:
1. What is madvr?
2. What are the pros/cons of using madvr?
3. How do I get madvr?

Since I last posted here I've noticed an issue that I'm only getting now that I enabled D3D Fullscreen enabled in the EVR properties. every 15 minutes or so there will be a slight stutter, after which the video and audio will get desynced. Sometimes by very little, but sometimes by up to 0.5 seconds. Any1 know why this is happening and how to get rid of it?
Thanks
