      After launching the game and entering a world, JAVAW.exe refuses to utilize my GPU and will only use the Intel integrated graphics, pegging out my CPU at 100%, overheating my laptop and eventually shutting it down. I've tried manually adding the javaw.exe to the Nvidia control panel and forcing it to only use the Nvidia GPU, but Minecraft still operates only on my CPU. Prior to the 15.2 update I was able to eventually get Minecraft to use GPU, but now it refuses. The Java Platform SE Binary is going to give my laptop fan a heart attack
