My graphics card has been crashing when playing FTB Monster or TPPI, although I haven't tested it on many of the other modpacks. I'm guessing it's a vanilla minecraft error, but the normal game doesn't strain my graphics card enough for it to ever become an issue (hence why I've only experienced the problem on modpacks with 110+ mods). Sometimes it'll black out my screen and come back up saying it's recovered, but minecraft will become unresponsive and I'll need to force quit and restart it. Other times I'll get a blue screen and need to restart. Before each crash, though, I'm given a sort of in-game "warning", and I can avoid the crash by immediately closing the client when I see it.

I had this issue a while back while playing Monster, but the issue hardly ever bothered me and wasn't much of an issue. Now, though, I've started playing TPPI and the issue is causing me to restart my computer and client every 15-30 minutes, or every 2-5 minutes when I'm in the nether.

Here are some of my specs, I don't know where to find all of it so if I'm missing something crucial please tell me where to find the information and I'll update it:


Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7 CPU 920 @2.67GHz 2.67GHz
6.00 GB of RAM
NVIDIA GeFore 8400GS


Any suggestions are appreciated, thanks!

Haha, figures. I knew it was bad but I didn't know it was that bad. Thanks, I guess I'll look into upgrading.
