Minecraft Forums

I opened the Intel driver updater and I did a scan but they said there's no update for my driver!

So I tried to launch Minecraft again but the exact same thing popped up again! Please help.

My dxdiag report: http://paste.ubuntu.com/12460238/

My minecraft crash report is down there |

The update utility no longer will show non intel sold parts/devices. They state that you need to get updates from OEM's so you need to manually look up drivers.

Quote from cestislife»

The Intel(R) Q965/Q963 Express Chipset Family is no longer supported by Intel, and hence does not have updated drivers for Windows 10. You would need to downgrade Windows to the last playable version, or obtain a more modern/capable computer.

Oh; I didn't realize that. On hopper page it states "A full list of affected devices can be found here."; which does list the Q965 chipset.

I'm using windows 8

So, I just need to get a new GPU?
