    I don't see an error attached to that post but usually when Minecraft breaks it's because Java needs to be updated.

    Check this page out for a walkthru.

    @Devil240Z:

    That's kinda like seeing the check engine light in your car flashing at you every day and ignoring it because it's annoying.

    Eventually something's gonna break. In this case, just run the Java updater and you should be all set, thankfully :)

    Make sure java is the right version too, 64bit or 32 bit depending on your operating system.

    Minecraft leaks memory like a mother if you don't have the right version of java. If you can't be bothered to check, just set your view distance to anything other than far, then you should be good.

    Yeah but you take it into the shop and the mechanic just shrugs walks away.

    Minecraft kept crashing for me too, kept saying it ran out of memory.

    I found out that i need McMemory for minecraft for it to run. What it does is limit the memory that minecraft can use, so it doesnt keep initiating all of it. That fixed the problem for me.
