Solution
You are using intel drivers which are crashing. Start by uninstalling your current drivers and install the latest version.
If that won't help, try enabling VBOs and VSync. If that won't help, please use the Mojang Support Center.
What's wrong: Whenever I load up a game on one of these snapshots (15w39c - 15w41b) and I start a world. When the chucks load, seconds later it immediately crashes (even if I stand still and don't touch or move anything). I had no troubles with the snapshots 15w39c and 15w40b when loading them up into a world until the new snapshot (15w41a-b) was released, then it kept crashing my game. What should happen: I should be able to play this snapshot because I have seen many videos on YouTube with people that have no trouble playing the snapshot and don't crash. Other: Although snapshot 15w38b and anything before that can load fine. Would you know what is happening?
How to reproduce bug:
1. I am not sure if it is possible to reproduce the bug because some people can play the snapshot completely fine without crashing or any other problems. I have heard from other people who have had the problem, but I would not know if you can recreate since this is unusual bug that effects certain people. Sorry, I hope that you know what the bug could possibly be and fix it. I appreciate for your time reading this and hopefully there is a fix to this. Good luck, thank you and have a nice day.

You are using intel drivers which are crashing. Start by uninstalling your current drivers and install the latest version.

I did all that and I am still crashing with the same report. What else is there to try.

If that won't help, please use the Mojang Support Center.

I found a solution on reddit that said to turn on "Use VBOs" in video settings, and that worked for me.

thanks Noah. After pre 4 my minecraft started insta crashing. came here for a solution. Tried your advice and it seems to have worked. 🙂

Worked perfectly, thank you!

So, after trial and test with different drivers and settings, I found the solution! I manually installed the Intel Graphics driver 20.19.15.4300 (15.40 / Jan 28,2016) from their downloads site. After I installed the driver, I launched minecraft 1.9 and it worked at first. However, after launching the game again, java crashed and kept on crashing anytime I tried to launch minecraft. I restarted the computer and still the crashing happened. I noticed that the screen flashed after I restarted, and saw that windows updated to graphics driver version 20.19.15.4331. So I uninstalled that, turned off windows auto driver update, and re-installed the 20.19.15.4300 version. It worked again when I launched minecraft, but not any time after (just like before). I decided to play with some java settings and thats where I found the solution. Once I allocated at least 2G of RAM at startup for the game, it worked. I used the java arguments "-Xms2G -Xmx3G". This worked along with using the driver version 20.19.15.4300 and I did not have to use VBO mode.
Please attach the crash report.
