I have a bunch of mods installed but I think this is something to do with Forge but I could be (and probably am) wrong. I've looked through the EAQ and a few threads but I don't think anyone else is having this problem.

 

It was fine until last night when the screen kept blacking out and coming back on then it just crashed completely, then when I tried to start it back up I get to the Mojang screen then after a few seconds I get the error screen.

 

Here's the error report:

But if I remove the "forge.cfg" file from the "config" folder first it starts no problem but will still crash randomly.

 

I'm pretty sure I'm using the latest version of Forge, the download says:

 

minecraftforge-universal-1.4.7-6.6.0.497

 

I've tried a clean restore of Minecraft itself (erase the entire .minecraft folder) but it still persists.

 

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

No, 499 is the newest.

497 is the latest recommended...

Delete C:/Users/Gumballthechewy/AppData/Roaming/.minecraft/config/forge.cfg

I was mistaken, I completely removed the .minecraft folder and did a fresh download and tried it with no mods of any sort and it still does the same thing, I fear it's problems with my graphics card.

 

Sorry for the false alarm but thanks for the help!
