Please fix the error and restart.

Ive no idea what it means and all the googling results have to do with programming not troubleshooting

Try turning your Firewall off and/or your Antivirus. Delete your .minecraft folder, then start the launcher. If it doesn't work out, I can upload a clean .minecraft folder somewhere for you to manually place in your game lol

I dont have anything in my .minecraft folder. I deleted it all to try exactly that after a few hours of tryin to figure out what was goin on. I think its somehow APU related. I have a AMD A10-6800k with 16gigs of ram. I think not havin a physical vidcard is whats tripping it up somewhere but Im just wildly guessin and have nothin to go on cept the fact that my old computer and the other computer and 3 laptops in this house all run minecraft fine but the one (this one) with the apu doesnt

How about you try copying the .minecraft folder from your other computers? That way it wouldn't have to download/unpack any longer, as the files already exist.
