Hi all, my hard drive recently went kaput, and so they put a new one in. I went to reinstall minecraft (reinstalling java first), and the launcher could install, however when trying to play a profile, it starts with the download scroll bar, and then gives me the "Game unexpectedly crashed" error. I hadn't really crashed before with the new launcher, and with my old hard drive, it was a lot of times faster to use an old launcher, so I installed that one.
At least I got an error report with this one. Here is the error report, however I'm really not good with computers and I don't understand it.

I got Java again, updated my drivers, and tried running as an administrator. What else can I do?
