Hi, yet another person experiencing this error..

It started about a month ago, and sometimes crashes every few minutes and some days it is fine for hours.
I'm using Opti and shaders, but that doesn't seem to have any influence.

I did the following, with no success:
- tweaked nvidia control pannel settings for Java (turned off Thread Optimization, recommended if you want to use Multi-Core chunk loading with OptiFine)
- Driver reinstall: deleted all traces of nvidia things from PC within Safe Mode using Driver Sweeper, installed latest, selected clean install
- Uninstalled all java versions, then tried with java 7 only, then added 8 too, no success.. (64 bit)
- completely erased .minecraft from %appdata%
- tried pure vanilla as soon as I reinstalled minecraft
- deleted monitor color managment profile, downloaded latest profile and drivers, installed them
- tried using the standard sRGB profile for color management
- crashes while in both fullscreen and windowed, even with smaller window (left it in the background while doing other things).

No success with anything. I listed those so you all know what is NOT a cause of the problem and don't waste time testing.The error mentions that OpenGL detected something being wrong with the display driver. I am very suspicious that it could be the color management profiles, but then, why would it suddenly occur without you touching it..?

I'm using windows 7, Java version 7 (64 bit), graphics card is Nvidia gtx 670.
If only nvidia users are getting the problem, it is probably something with their drivers. They updated their drivers a few times since I started getting the error, each time hoping the next would solve it.
They may have put something in the driver that Minecraft doesn't like..

This is quite annoying, especially when it happens in the middle of conversations online :/
I hope this gets solved soon. Good luck to those who try fixing this!
