Since I've built this system(~11 months ago), Minecraft(and only Minecraft) has been horribly unstable on it. Updating every driver, flashing updated BIOS, running Java with 8 gigs of RAM allocated all fail to solve. Updating LWJGL also makes no difference. Game freezes on newly generated worlds simply walking around and exploring a tiny portion(around 10 blocks) of the game world after a random time from 1-20 minutes, or occasionally on it's own if allowed to just sit idle. Also affected when joining internet servers. Makes game completely unplayable. Note that game does NOT unfreeze, it remains frozen. No crash report is generated most times since it only freezes, followed by Windows detecting that it's stopped working. Always reproducable on my system, so if there is a way to get more debug info I'll supply it. |

Tried that, no change; however I did a few things and one of them seems to have solved the issue, but not sure which it was: |

Could you try compatibility mode? Right click on the minecraft.exe file and go to the compatibility tab, then select windows xp service pack 3. |

Since the odd time it DOES actually crash instead of just locking up, attaching this crash log in the hope it can help. |

Was using Java 6 before updating to Java 7. Used both 32 bit, and 64 bit versions. Currently using 64 bit, as noted in the Environment section above. As I've said, this issue has been happening to me for almost a year. Have used about 10 different versions of Java, and various releases of Minecraft over the past year. Various driver versions for different components of my system as well. I haven't been able to play Minecraft on this computer for a year. My prior system (XP 32bit) ran fine. |

Are you using 32 or 64 bit of java? And could you try Java 6? No idea if it will work, but it might be worth a try. |

Screenshot of what happens. Screenshot was taken after letting Minecraft run for an additional 10 hours after initially freezing. Note that it remained unresponsive the entire time, there was no further rendering in the 10 hours after freezing, which would have been apparent with the movement of the clouds. |

Have you tried updating LWJGL? (LightWeight Java Game Library) http://www.minecraftwiki.net/wiki/Tutorials/Update_LWJGL On the wiki it says: "It has also been reported to fix intermittent crashes on Windows." If you haven't tried I think you should. |
