Minecraft keeps crashing with JRE error [duplicate]
I've been playing Minecraft for 5 days now and the whole time I've been playing, I came across two errors. One is that the Java TM binary thing isn't responding. The other is when I'm playing for a bit, the whole games completely closes and it takes me to the game output spot in the Minecraft launcher. This is what it says:
#
# A fatal error has been detected by the Java Runtime Environment:

It's hard to say with Minecraft, as there are many different reasons for crashing. However, there are a few things you could try:
- Increase the RAM allocation:You can do this by opening the Minecraft launcher, clicking "edit profile", then in the "Java Settings (Advanced)" tick the "JVM arguments" box and replacing Xmx1G with Xmx2G or a larger number if you have a lot of RAM in your computer. I don't recommend leaving any less than 1G unallocated, i.e. if you have 4 Gigabytes of RAM, only add 3 at most. This is probably the most common problem when Minecraft stops working apparently randomly, because it can cause crashing if your game world gets too big.
- Like Gert says, if you are using any mods, you could try deleting your Minecraft appdata folder (but backup your saves on the desktop first!) and then the launcher will automatically re-download a fresh copy.
- Your Java could be outdated. You can probably get the newest version here: https://java.com/en/download/
