Client freezes then disconnects with java.io.IOException: Error while write(...) when trying to join a server

When connecting it will randomly disconnect with Internal Exception: java.io.IOException: Error while write(...): Broken pipe. If you do manage to connect then it will give the same error when changing worlds.

Game Output (in launcher):

I have restarted and reinstalled java and minecraft several times and it does not fix the issue.
