Minecraft Forums

so, a couple days ago my minecraft stopped working, whenever i try to start it up it just gets the java could not create virtual machine error, the problem is that it is a ram issue, whenever i reduce my ram to below 1gb it works fine, the second it goes up to 1gb it cant create the virtual machine, this is across all my minecraft things, modded or unmodded, does anyone know of a way to fix it or having the same issue, have been searching for a solution, downgrading to java 6 didnt help, all others i have seen havent worked but im very open to suggestions. My computer has 4 gbs of ram i know thats not the problem
