I have been playing minecraft on this computer for about a year now and its been working perfectly. Until about a few days ago when it decided to stop working and my cpu would be at 90%. I installed the new Java which some how stopped my CPU from working so hard and now i have the issue where i cant allocate more ram. I can allocate as much as i want but it wont start. For example when i insert -Xmx1024MB i get an error saying could not create the Java Virtual Machine. When i insert -Xmx1G - 3G minecraft will open but it says there is only about 450 MB available. I also inserted -Xmx3G -Xms2G and what happens is the laucher quickly closes and then reopens without opening minecraft. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

If there is any other information needed i would be happy to give it. Thanks
Allocated shows how much of your possible heap space has been allocated from your OS. By default it starts at 50%, and might go to (or start at) 100% depending upon what you are doing. This number is generally not that important. Some people like it to be 100% so that there's no hiccup from it possibly growing while you are playing, but if you don't need that much heap it's just claiming memory from your OS that isn't needed and can't be used by anything else.
Used shows how much of your total possible heap you are using. If it was 100% you would be experiencing an OutOfMemoryException. This number fluctuates as the program runs, gradually increasing until a garbage collection is triggered at which point it plummets as unneeded memory is freed for reuse.
