Completely willing to say this isn't a minecraft problem, but a few things just to add for posterity and anyone that comes across this later.
This has been tested on several machines with various video cards which have up to date drivers, including an EC2 G4 instance with a nVidia Tesla GRID gaming video card, among others. The issue this is marked as being a duplicate for seems superficially not to be the same issue other than "something crashed, so your video drivers are out of date". As a test, the various memory, vsync updates, and command line switches in that duplicate were followed on the various test systems, resulting in the same which is:
1. Open up the minecraft client, begin playing. It will run exactly perfectly for as long as you want, it will not crash, it will not exit, not have a black screen, it will work fine.
2. Open the Parsec client and begin hosting the minecraft java client. Almost immediately, minecraft will crash and the minecraft launcher will return with a message saying minecraft crashed and will present the crash information. Parsec continues running fine, seems to not notice anything other than "the thing I was hosting stopped"
Again, could be nvidia, parsec or other things and not minecraft at all, but this is a note to say that in the various tests it is only minecraft that crashes and everything appears to be up to date with the drivers and the system setups. Leaving this as a message for anyone else that runs across this.
