Whenever I attempt to launch minecraft, the launcher works fine, showing me the versions and allowing me to change profiles and such. However, when I click play the launcher will go away then come back with a crash report. The crash report tells me to update my drivers but I know for a fact that my drivers are completely up to date. I have an i7- 8 core processor and 16GB of ram therefore I can know that its nothing with my hardware. I recently restored my computer back to factory settings. Prior to that, Minecraft launched fine, played well and no problems. Some of my other games are also giving me driver related errors... please help.


Here is my crash report if that helps....
