So, recently, my Minecraft has been crashing a lot. There is only 1 gigabyte, or so I believe, of memory allocated to my Minecraft. I have Minecraft Shaders, and a 64-bit OS. X86 is what the OS for java is, which I believe means 64 bit.
Now, I have 16gb of RAM and a 1tb hard drive installed. I have no idea why I cannot allocate more memory. I've tried many videos, yet all of them did not work. This computer is about 3 weeks old.
I have a GTX 760 Video Card (2gigs in the card) and an Intel Core i7-4770k Processor.
First, let me clarify the difference between x86/x64 and 32/64 bit.
64 bit is a extension upon 32 bit.
x86 = 32 bit, and x64 = 64 bit.
32 bit programs generally cannot allocate anymore then 2-4gb of RAM. You have a 64 bit operating system, but by the looks of things, but only a 32 bit Java installation. This is fine for most things, except allocation of memory (of course). Therefore, in order for you to allocate more memory to MC, you need to install a 64 bit version of Java. Take a visit to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/jre8-downloads-2133155.html, accept the license agreement, and download the "jre-8u11-windows-x64.exe" file. A further Google on 64 bit vs 32 bit should clarify what I said before.
x86 is not 64bit, (x64) 64bit is a extension to the memory addressing of the 32 bit. You will need 64bit java, as linked above. You will also need to keep 32bit java for Web Browsers as well, except for chrome or 64bit Firefox (Waterfox) which can use 64bit version of java or otherwise unless the browser you are using says it can or is 64bit version. An for most part before it happens, do not be an unintelligent person and lets say allocate 8GB of ram to Minecraft. No, that is stupid and does nothing but hurt performance outside an server environment. Instead put 2GB to an absolute max of 3GB (heavy modded Minecraft only). Ram amount does not increase performance unless it was an bottleneck to start with.
I am still attempting to understand why a 760 GTX is paired with an i7-4770k and 16GB Ram.
GTX 760 Video Card (2gigs in the card) For note, Vram is not same as ram installed on PC, Vram is an entirely different thing you should never worry on unless you know what it does and how it is used.

It was the best price for my budget, and well, I can run most games on the highest settings. I'm going to be putting another GTX 760 in the computer around november, so it has dual cards. Thanks for your support, also.
