Technic Launcher restarting when I try and load a mod

[BenoTheGreat]

So I got a new computer today and wanted to finally try out some mods that i could not previously run on my old laptop.

Specs are : AMD A8 6600K APU with Radeon HD graphics, 3.90ghz, and 8gb Ram. I wanted to play Attack of the B-Team, as my laptop could never handle it. Basically, after install when I hit play, it seems like it tries to launch, and then reloads the launcher. I've tried most of the other mods and they all work but this and Tekkit. It seems to be crashing and just opening up the launcher again, and i really wanna get this mod working. Ive tried assigning more RAM (2gb-using a 64bit operating system). Ive also tried uninstalling the modpack and re installing it several times to no avail. My java is definitly up to date and have even tried uninstalling that multiple times.

 

I checked the logs and couldnt see any faults besides this one line, that occured multiple times,

Im unsure if this has anything to do with my problem but stood out. 

Anyone got any ideas?

Thanks in advance for any help!

This is an issue with Java 8. I'm assuming you didn't hunt for Java 7 when you installed it. Here's the link to Java 7 http://www.java.com/en/download/manual_java7.jsp and is best if it is the only Java installed. I'm assuming the new launcher is meant to work with Java 8 but I haven't read anything on this.
