I am trying to install Minecraft for the first time. I have tried to uninstall Java and reinstall. I have tried shutting off the firewalls. I do not know what else to try. Anyone have any ideas? I am getting the following error...

There is nothing wrong with minecraft, but with Java. You are using Java 8 which is not really stable, so refrain from using it.

To solve this issue you should uninstall Java 8 and install the latest update of Java 7.

A EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION (0xc0000005) means that Java is unable to read/write to the tempoary memory (RAM).

The reason you received that error is because:

Your computer tries to load assets (ie. textures) into the memory, but loaded it into a portion of the RAM that was not allocated to javaw.exe (the Java runtime that runs Minecraft).

There are many reasons this could be caused, try the following to fix:

  • Reinstalling any graphics drivers, as broken drivers may have caused the misallocation and loading of memory.
  • Make sure javaw.exe and java.exe is running as an administrator, as sometimes it tries to load things into memory defined to it (by the software), even though it was not allocated (by the system).
  • Downgrade from Java 8 to Java 7 as it is not stable... Yet.
