FATAL ERROR PLEASE HELP.

[PotatoManX]

I downloaded Technic Launcher, and it worked fine for a few hours but then once i clicked on the shortcut, it freezed my whole computer. I cant even play minecraft anymore without this happening. Technic Launcher basically destroyed my Minecraft. I could really use some help.

how much RAM is in your system? how much do you have allocated in the Launcher?

how much RAM is in your system? how much do you have allocated in the Launcher?

I have 8GB Ram in my system, and the Launcher takes up about 100,000 kbs of memory.

How much RAM did you actually allocate in the launcher options?

Also, which version of Java do you have?

[PotatoManX]

Well, i tried reinstalling to the latest version of 64bit java, (Because my computer is 64 bit) that didn't really work. And the launcher immediately crashes once i hit the shortcut. So i cannot even access the launcher options.

[PotatoManX]

I am using Windows 7 Home Premium.

I just tried that with no luck. Also, whenever i click on minecraft or techniclauncher, they come up as javaw.exe in task manager, when i click on either of them, it takes up a big chunk of my CPU, freezes my system for a minute or two, then just stops. The process keeps going though. After that they still don't launch.

Every time i try and download the tekkit pack is says that there is a error and to ask the author how can fix this please

[Padavar89]

And you've tried to download the technic launcher again?

[PotatoManX]

And you've tried to download the technic launcher again?

Multiple times, yes.

In re-reading this, it appears you're saying that even Vanilla Minecraft is now crashing your system. Is that true? Somehow I missed that detail before. To the best of my knowledge, the Technic Launcher doesn't change Vanilla Minecraft files so it would seem it's a Java issue as opposed to a TechnicLauncher issue. (Of course, there are others out there that know the finer points better than I -- what say you?)

I know you've installed/reinstalled Java so forgive a potentially stupid question, but have you tried a *complete* wipe followed by a reinstall?

(complete uninstall: http://www.java.com/en/download/uninstall.jsp)

(manual install: http://www.java.com/en/download/help/windows_manual_download.xml)

Some other things to try:

(1) update your video drivers (you don't happen to have an AMD Radeon graphics card, do you? It's had similar problems)

(2) do you have any log files in "/Users/<username>/AppData/Roaming/.technic/logs" ? They might shed some light on things.

(3) try running either/both in compatibility mode for Vista or even XP

(4) have you, by chance, disabled the Java Update Scheduler? I saw one person who indicated enabling it solved their issues (seems a long-shot to me, but...)

Yeah none of that stuff really worked, but thank you very much. I found the logs, i don't know if any of this is important but here goes:
