Hey guys, i'm having major errors with my minecraft. For a bit of backstory, incase it helps, I formatted my pc around 3 months ago, prior to that reformat, my minecraft worked fine. After the format, the only minecraft I had installed was 'Feed The Beast' (which worked), now that I want to play vanilla minecraft again, i've come to realise that it's not working
Here's my issue - Upon launching the minecraft.exe I get immense 'fps' lag almost, throughout my whole computer, it's really choppy and unresponsive, after around 30 seconds, the client launches, i can put in my account details perfectly. If I try to click on the options button, the window will appear a split second before being rendered invisble (I can tell that it's gone invisible instead of closing completely because the cursor changes to the 'resize' cursor around the where the window borders would be). After putting my account details in, it will download the files, and immediately after that, the client goes into a black screen.
Things i've done to try and fix it - Okay, so my first thought was to do with RAM, but given the fact I have 18gb that idea quickly vanished. I've tried re-downloading the client multiple times, I then tried running minecraft on my laptop (which works fine) and copying the whole '.minecraft' folder to my PC, that didn't work either, so I ruled out the possibility of minecraft being broken. My next thought was java, i've uninstalled and re-installed java multiple times as well as been through all the settings in the control panel for java. I've tested that java works fine on my computer via other java-run games that work flawlessly. So that lead me to my final idea, OpenGL, I had the idea that OpenGL may not have been intialising correctly or something, so I tried updating/re-installing my graphic drivers, but had no such luck. Now i'm fresh out of ideas and have no idea what to do.
P.S I tried installing tekkit to see if that would work, I encountered the EXACT (choppy computer upon launching client, black screen after logging in) same errors that I was having with vanilla minecraft.
Hi,
If your OS is 64-bit, then it's recommended you use Java 64-bit. Grab it from http://java.com/en/download/manual.jsp and see if it improves.
If it doesn't, please obtain a DxDiag log and place it in spoiler tags:
