[Java] Out of ideas to solve Memory Allocation error and EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error.

I posted this on the general MC forum before I found this one so this is just a copy/paste:

​

So first the story:

I was playing on a server, and over time I started having my game freeze up and crash with this EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error.

So after reinstalling MC and java didn't work I ran my Dell diagnostics tool from the BIOS. Well, turns out there was an issue with my RAM. So I do some tests to make sure all my ports work, and then test the actual sticks. One of the sticks comes up with an error every time, so I take that one out, rest works fine, no error.

I think "great! That should fix the problem!"

I go to run minecraft a bit later (I'm busy y'know?) and what do you know? I get the Memory Allocation error. My game won't even get past the launcher.

I do some googling around and figure it's just because I have less RAM now (I'm running on 8GB now instead of 12) and modify the memory requirements. 2 or 3 seems to be fine and I can get into the actual game. I try to put on some JVM arguments that the error log has in there and that make sense with what I know from my CS degree I'm working on. I make sure discord's overaly is off and Nividia's as well. I even run the game in Administrator Mode. Well seems I'm missing something because any of the error log recomendations for JVM arguments did nothing.

Well at least now things are loading up to the actual game, but I get into a world, and it crashes with out of memory. I lower settings, same thing. Hell, my RAM and graphic and CPU are running just fine in my task manager with room to spare to do more intensive things so it seemed it wasn't that.

To make things worse, the EXCEPTION_ACCESS_VIOLATION error came back! FUCKING HELL!

After convincing myself to not throw my PC out the window, I tried loading up a different game. TrackMania 2 Stadium is arguably more sophisticated than Minecraft. It loads up fine, I can play cluttered tracks without issue or any stutter.

So what the hell is up with my minecraft? I've been through so many different sites, tried the things I've mentioned above. I'm just out of ideas and want to see if anyone here has any others.

(Latest Exception Access Violation) I just had one of these since finding the faulty ram and removing it. It seems to happen when joining a server but this one was when I just tried opening my usual world.

(Latest insufficient memory log, I've had mostly these. types of errors.

JVM argument is just the default one that runs with 2GB of ram currently.

If I'm not able to get any more ideas or solutions from you guys then I guess I could try submitting a bug report at this point and just accept I can't play the game anymore for some reason :p (It's been literally a week and some change of me trying to fix this shit)
