Since before the update to the new loader, i can't play older versions of the game. I couldn't play the alphas, i couldn't play release 1.2.5, and at a certain point, not even release 1.5.2 would load, i would click "Play" and java would immediately "Stop Working", i deleted my .minecraft folder more than 10 times, i re-installed the operating system on my computer, and even TESTED ON A COMPLETELY DIFFERENT MACHINE. Same results, no other version will load except for the latest one. Always the same error: "Java Stopped Working". And when i try to record the latest version of the game using Nvidia Shadowplay the same problem occurs "Java Stopped Working"

That worked! Thanks!
This may be caused by broken Nvidia graphics drivers.
Please check if the hotfix of MC-112780 fixes that problem.
