No, just crashing(Optifine crashed just changing a setting once) and the game no starting at all with the shader mod.

Huh, maybe it's a problem with Java. It's not the most stable platform.

It's weird because I remember ruinning rock-solid prior rto 1.7.

Maybe try re-downloading java, should be 64-bit and do a clean install of Minecraft. Obviously back up your saves.

Did the clean install, I just updated Java and I'm going to try again.

 

Still not working, now I'm getting errors about missing Twitch libraries(which should even be a problem because it's not a vital component)

Minecraft has Twitch support now.

 

Those are data-ports that are used to hook HDDs and DVD/CD/Blu-Ray drives up, I would guess if it's on the outside it's for somehow using one externally. 

 

Here we go, it's for external drives:

Every time someone posts a link to Wikipedia, I end up reading about things for hours.

 

eSATAp → Serial port → RS-232 → Parallel port → Biostar → ASUS → Gigabyte Technology → Origin PC → Falcon Northwest

Well kinda, some shit and drama happened that leaves a bad taste in my mouth about them now.

Does vanilla Minecraft run fine?

[FoxyCryptid 4,330]

Yes(or even with every but the shader-core mod now)

[Celli 4,338]

Then it must be a problem with optifine/forge. As far as I know, most 1.8 mods are either still in beta, or really buggy. Are using optifine and forge together?

No, I can't seem to re-locate the mod version of Optifine that doesn't make it's own profile altogether.

 

The 1.7 version along with it's version of the shader was doing the same thing

Huh, I dunno what else to tell you, then. I've never experienced anything like this before.

[Mouse 302]

For some reason, trying to watch YouTube in 60 FPS on my main laptop makes it incredibly stuttery and laggy. I tried installing the LXLE Linux OS and it works fine on that, just not on Windows. I tried everything from tweaking settings in chrome to updating flash player, and none of it has worked. It's really strange.

Youtube should default to using HTML5 now, so your version of Flash should be of no consequence.

 

Are your graphics drivers up to date (or installed?) The bulk of the video decode should be handled on your GPU, though to be honest unless your laptop is ancient the CPU should be handling it fine as well.

 

Is there something in the background taking up a lot of CPU?

[Plageius 263]

I couId do that, but I'd rather not have to bother with that, so I decided to swap out the board (still A88X as per your recommendation), the CPU for one that includes a cooler, and a different case (needed to).

 

Here is the updated list. Slightly more expensive, but I'm still good for it. 

4GB Ram. No. That's obsolete in 2015, hell it was obsolete in 2011! 

[FoxyCryptid 4,330]

Yeah. you really need at least 8GB in a gaming rig(16GB if you can squeeze it in the budget without cutting corners elsewhere)

My GPU driver is up to date, but strangely my CPU driver says it is from 2006. Which makes no sense because the processor in my laptop came out in 2012 or something. Should I try updating it? I've never heard of someone updating their CPU driver. Also no, nothing seems to be taking up lots of CPU power in the background.

 

It's also weird because watching 720p and 1080p at 30 FPS on other browsers has no problem. It can't be due to lack of power.

It might have something to do with the fact that Google Chrome uses its own built-in version of Flash instead of Adobe's. You could try switching them if you like: https://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/kb/flash-player-google-chrome.html

 

But then again, you could be using HTML5 video...

 

Are you using adblock by any chance?

No updates to the CPU device driver that I'm aware of. Your lack of issue using other browsers seems to point to Chrome being the issue. Maybe try reinstalling it?

 

Do you get this issue with other video streaming sites (that still use flash)?

Looks like I lost the silicon lottery with my GTX 760.

[Mouse 302]

@Lunatic Envy I've tried reinstalling chrome but it did nothing. It doesn't bother me much anymore, I can always just use Linux when I want to watch 60 fps.

 

Daring, do you mean your GPU isn't able to overclock very much?

 Yup, I can't overclock it at all.

I don't know any game that would require over 8GB of RAM. I see 16GB of RAM to be unnecessary unless you want to game but also want, say, +50 Chrome tabs open. The extra money probably could be better spent on other parts of the PC.
