CurseForge launcher uses seven years old java by default, which with AMD GPU, causes a crash at pre-initialization

[Allaark]

Describe the bug
During Pre-Initialization, a mod causes graphics drivers to crash, causing a black screen for a few seconds while the drivers reboot/enter safemode. The bug seems to be caused by the mod Endertech Forge (I might have the name wrong, I am most sure of the words Ender and Forge, but am unsure about the word tech.) or something set to pre-initialize right after it.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

• 1. Launch the pack
• 2. The pack will begin loading as normal.
• 3. when pre-initializing the mod "Endertech Forge" (or something set to load right after), The screen freezes, then goes dark.
• 4. Upon Re-initialization of graphics drivers, the Minecraft window will be frozen. with a white screen

Expected behavior
The expected behavior is that pre-initialization and the rest of loading continues as normal, or at the very least throws a readable error.

Screenshots

The Minecraft window is frozen completely white, and cannot be moved.

Additional context
My computer runs the Radeon RX 570 Series GPU, and has 8 Gigs of ram.

Thanks for the detailed report! I mainly need logs (latest.log)

If you are using CurseForge App, Try to move to another launcher. It might fix the issue.

Update
Here is the log you are asking for:
latest.log

I'm having the same issue with my drivers crashing when pre-initializing Endertech. I get the same frozen, white screen, and no errors are thrown. I'm running an RX 580 with 8 gigs allocated, so maybe it's related to 500 series AMD cards? Here's my log, I'm hoping it helps.
latest.log

Thanks for providing the log.
There is one concerning thing there: you use really outdated java. Java 8 Update 51 is 7 years old.

Operating System: Windows 10 (amd64) version 10.0
  Java Version: 1.8.0_51, Oracle Corporation
  Java VM Version: Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (mixed mode), Oracle Corporation

But other than that, the log says very little to me. There isn't a crash log. It seems that it just stops at pre-init.
You could try to move to a different launcher with the latest java and see if it would work.

The issue

CurseForge launcher uses seven years old java by default, which with AMD GPU, causes a crash at pre-initialization.

Solution

You have to either: use a different launcher or force the CurseForge launcher to use the latest java.
I recommend you GDLauncher, ATLauncher or Prism Launcher.
