I am getting an error when I try to give minecraft more ram. I have 16GB of ram installed in my system, with about 12 GB free, and when I try to allocate minecraft more ram I get an error message:
Error: Could not create Java Virtual Machine
Error: A fatal exception has occurred. Program will exit.
I use "-Xmx8G -Xms8G" to add the ram.
I am using the latest version of java on windows 8.1 (64 bit)
This is the stuff from the dev console, any help would be appreciated.
