Are you going to post a crash report?

Jack Gothard 2014-02-20T12:50:45Z

Sure, can I ask how?

There's a button up at the top of the screen that says "More" and has a little arrow pointing down next to it. If you click on it, the first option is "Attach Files". When Minecraft crashes, it puts a log of the crash report into .minecraft/crash-reports. Look for the most recent one that has been generated and attach it to the bug report.

I'm struggling to find that

By default, Minecraft's files are stored in c:\Users[Your Windows Username Goes Here]\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\.

Jack Gothard 2014-02-20T13:11:33Z

Can you search that in documents?

Mog (Ryan Holtz) 2014-02-20T13:16:20Z

Try this instead:

1. Start the Minecraft launcher
2. Click the "Edit Profile" button in the lower-right of the window.
3. Click the "Open Game Dir" button in the lower center of the window.

I've attached the file

Looks like your Java Virtual Machine is running out of memory when assembling the textures to be used. I see that you're using a 512x texture pack, which is pretty gargantuan and causes a large amount of memory pressure when putting together the texture atlas.

Try going back into the Edit Profile window and ticking the "JVM Arguments" checkbox at the bottom of the window, then putting "-Xmx1G", without the quotes, in the text box that becomes enabled. If that doesn't fix the issue, try upping it to "-Xmx2G", again without the quotes.

Fair warning, when using a 512x texture pack, you may end up simply not having enough video card memory to assemble the texture atlas in the first place. If you end up continuing to crash but getting an error in the crash report other than "java.lang.OutOfMemoryError: Java heap space", try a 256x pack instead.

It says that it "Could not create the Java Virtual Machine"

Jack Gothard 2014-02-20T13:49:53Z

How do I now make that the texture pack if the game won't open?

Mog (Ryan Holtz) 2014-02-20T14:44:19Z

Delete the 512x texture pack and it won't keep trying to use it. I have to ask, how much RAM do you have in your machine? I find it unlikely that you would have a GTX 650 in a machine with so little RAM that you can't even throw a gig at the JVM. Can you take a screenshot of what the "Profile Editor" window looks like when you've added the option to increase the JVM heap size to 1 gig?

Jack Gothard 2014-02-20T15:40:45Z

When I put the texture pack into 1.7.2 from the resource pack option in the menu, the file stopped being viewable so I can't find it to delete it. Apparently there is 8.00 GB of RAM installed?

Too less memory on a 32bit machine.
