thanks, problem solved. and your reply was awesome, you made my day

I think I have the same exact problem. I tried to reinstall java and change between java 7 / 8 and 32bit / 64bit, even tried the jdk, I tried to delete .minecraft, to set the graphical options to minimum (from options.txt), install a texture pack (from options.txt), launch minecraft from another launcher (FTB in particular) but nothing... I think it's a forge 1.9.4 problem only coz 1.7.10, 1.8.9 and 1.9 all works correctly but 1.9.4 gives the "java platform binary has stopped working" shutdown at 7/7 here is the fml log for forge .1965 here is the fml log for forge .1976 one thing i've noticed is that I have java 8_91 installed but, if I've got it correctly, the log says that java 8_25 is the one running, which is the one internal to minecraft, situated in Programs(x86)/Minecraft/runtime/jre-x64/1.8.0_25/bin/ , where Programs(x86)/Minecraft/ , is the launcher folder, and i see the same thing even if i uninstall java 8_91 without reinstalling any. I think this means that minecraft runs independently from the java I install, but I'm not sure and anyway I don't know how to fix it.
