Perform a windows update, and make sure you have the latest version of java
Try searching the video card manufacturer's website for updated drivers.
Drivers are part of your computer's operating system, they are not part of Minecraft at all.
You need to update your video card drivers. Typing "[Video card name] drivers" in Google usually gives you links to driver downloads.
Minecraft can crash for several reasons. The most normal ones are: - Out of memory - Bad Video Card Drivers - Messing with the files in .minecraft - Opening a chest with an item for an uninstalled and / or outdated mod - Java not installed / updated
Possibly. More likely, if your card has gone bad, you will have no sound output at all and video will be unaffected.
What are your system specs? What type of graphics card do you have (Nvidia, ATI).
yes
Not enough info to even hazard a guess!
Not usually. Video card memory generally consists of ROM chips soldered directly to the card, so if the graphics card goes bad, it's best to replace it.
If you have Windows 7 or Vista, Windows Update and Nividia Video Card Drivers then follow these instructions. 1. Click the Start button in the bottom-left corner of your screen. 2. Click the search button and type in, "Windows Update". It should come up at the top of the search. 3. Click Windows Update and select Important Updates or Optional Updates if the Nividia Video Card Drivers Update won't come up. 4. Tick the Nividia Video Card Drivers Update and install. 5. When you're finished, go onto Minecraft and it should work. (If it doesnt work then try restarting the computer.) Enjoy!
More than likely the video card is going bad.
It could be due to a bad graphic card or drivers. You need the right type of video card (graphics card). It can also happen if you have too little physical RAM or too little virtual RAM.
