Today my friend gave me his old PC! So I went out and bought windows 8 64bit and 4gb of ram. (Small budget) I have installed antivirus and basic stuff (latest java version and updated the graphics drivers) and when I open minecraft it launches normally but as soon as It goes to change from launcher to game it comes back to launcher and says it crashed! Please help!!
