Minecraft Forums

I have been playing minecraft 1.7.2 & 1.7.10 with the mod optifine to enhance my FPS for over a year now. And over that year period it has worked great. I did contract some viruses through sketchy downloads for mods and texture packs so recently I refreshed my entire computer back to its factory settings in order to get rid of the harmful files on my Gateway laptop. Since then I re-downloaded minecraft and Java 64-bit onto my computer and now I am getting regular crashes within three minutes of starting to play. I've tried downloading other java platforms and doing different methods to solve my problem but nothing is working. If someone could please help that would be amazing, the issue has become extremely frustrating. Thank you and I will paste the error message below...

Um I would believe that the driver is up to date, but I'm a noob at computer skills so how would I update it manually or check it for that? In the mean time I will look up how to on the internet. Thanks for the reply grimallq.

Alright I will do that thanks very much, I will reply back on if it works or not.
