Answer 1

Hi. According to this: "Failed to write core dump. Minidumps are not enabled by default on client versions of Windows" and to this: " Java VM: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (23.0-b21 mixed mode windows-amd64 compressed oops)" I guess you have a problem with version of your java. Try to download and reinstall java again (64bit JRE version of course).



BTW, If you have 8GB of RAM it doesn't mean you can play 10 game at the same time. Java JRE has implicit limit for how much it can use RAM. It's usually set to 1GB RAM.



You can change it here:

(Control panels > JAVA > Java > view > Runtime parameters (for example: -Xincgc -Xmx1536M (set to 1,5GB)).

Hi,

If you need to download Minecraft you can get it here for free: http://j.mp/1uSGXbR



it's completely free and it's very fast to install

Minecraft is quite an addictive game and if you cannot get enough of this application, then you can have a get sneak preview in this beta version. In this pre-release, the fundamentals of the game did not change at all.
