Very, very strange problems...
Jessegator922
To make things easier, I've made a timeline of when the problems started to occur.
(This is kinda lengthy, FYI.)
1) Minecraft ran fine. I had the GLSL Shaders mod, and it ran at 30 - 40 FPS @ 1080p.
2) I installed "Chunky" and every since, there were numerous problems with the game. I don't know if it was a coincidence that the problems started occurring after I installed Chunky, but whatever.
3) When I started Forge up with the GLSL Shaders Mod, my computer screens would go black for a couple seconds. Then, Windows alerted me that the "Display driver stopped responding and has recovered."
4) Randomly, it would work, however I only got like 15 - 25 FPS, about half of what I was usually getting.
5) I tried running Vanilla Minecraft (no mods installed) and the framerate was down a bit. (I'd say it was down about 10 to 15% from the original.)
6) I reinstalled my GPU drivers. Still, the problems occurred.
7) I deleted my ".minecraft" folder and reinstalled Forge and the GLSL Shaders mod. The same problems occurred.
8) I took my graphics card out of its PCI-E slot and put it back in. I reinstalled the drivers again. The same problems occurred.
9) I deleted every file that pertained to "Chunky." Still, the problems occurred.
What is going on here? Has anyone else had this problem?
I think the problem is that my computer switched over to its Integrated GPU (but why would it do that?), and it can't function correctly because no monitor is connected to it.
Any solutions/comments are welcome.
Computer specs:
AMD A10-7850K @ 3.7 GHz
XFX Radeon R7 260X 2 GB GDDR5

I updated my Java (and made sure it was 64-Bit) and still, the problem persists.

NetworkPCEJessegator922JetraDid you try cooking the graphics card? It sounds dangerous, but look up some tech support forums and I heard that if you bake your graphics card in the oven it'll fix any broken soldering.
I don't really want to do that, however right now I will try to run Crysis 3 to see if there are any problems with that. (If there aren't any problems running Crysis 3, then Minecraft should be working fine...)
In other words, if you don't come back complaining it works fine?
Great!, you haven't been back for 4 min.
Don't get too cocky yet. I've just played Crysis 3 on High settings @ 1080p for a couple minutes and it runs fine, at 30 - 40 FPS.

*EDIT*
Anyways that graphics card is not really good, so shaders is overall maybe a little bit to much for it to handle. What cooler does it have, if it has a reference cooler. Then it possible overheated, however you don't overheat immediately.
I bet someone is gonna kill me in my sleep for saying this but, AMD's reference cards are one of the worst coolers on the market. Extremely loud, bad cooling, just overall plastic cheap material and older technology. AMD hasn't focused enough on the cooling for their reference cards.
I recommend you just stop using shaders, depending on what cooler again.

Uhm, its not the "reference card" its the XFX Radeon R7 260X Double Dissipation Edition...
And the Shaders Mod ran fine before I installed Chunky...
Edit: This is the video card I have: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150695
Another Edit: I started 1.7.10 and 1.7.2, both with Forge and the GLSL Shaders Mod.
Still.
The.
Same.
Problems.
(Maybe now is a good time to get that ASUS GeForce GTX 760...)
3rd Edit: I have this PSU, if anyone needed to know: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817151139&cm_re=seasonic_450w-_-17-151-139-_-Product

Chunky shouldn't affect minecraft at all unless it's open at the same time (all it should do then is just slow down the game).
I seriously doubt that was the problem unless you downloaded it from somewhere other than the main site. If so you might have picked up some sort of virus.

I downloaded Chunky off of Minecraft Forums, so I don't think it had a virus. I even scanned my computer for viruses when the problems started to occur.

Maybe your pc "overheat" due to shaders mod. Maybe try to run Minecraft with more rams.

Like I said in my original post, it ran fine before I installed "Chunky."

Have you tried turning it off and on?

I've restarted it about a dozen times during the whole incident.
