My minecraft stopped working with an error coming up saying that the drivers need to be updated... only problem is that there are no updates available. Ive done all the tips and tricks with nothing working. The last step basically had me make this and ask for help on public forums:

Is it just minecraft that doesn't work?
Did you make any changes to the system?
Where there any updates to minecraft?

As far as i know its only minecraft/technic launcher.
No changes made, and no recent updates at all
 
How about reinstalling either the graphic drivers or minecraft or both? Just don't forget to backup your savegame.
 
You have a Lenovo B590 laptop, right? It looks like those only have the Intel GPU but let's make sure. Do you see an AMD or NVidia sticker on the laptop? If you check device manager, do you see any graphics related entries that are disabled/not working? The reason I'm asking is because my work laptop has an AMD GPU but I must install both the Intel and AMD drivers for it to work properly.

I can see from your link that your drivers are definitely on the newest version. What exactly is the minecraft message? Is it this one:

Bad video card drivers!
-----------------------

Minecraft was unable to start because it failed to find an accelerated OpenGL mode.
This can usually be fixed by updating the video card drivers.

Followed by an error report?

I have found this list of things to try, dunno if you've tried it yet:

http://www.minecraftbadvideocarddrivers.com/

Just take care, each point is a different solution. Even though they are numbered, they are not steps that you need to follow in order.

Obviously I can't take responsibility if anything goes wonky. I just found it and it may be worth trying. Just remember to switch stuff back if it doesn't work ;)

For a moment I got excited because I thought you were playing Minecraft on Ubuntu :love:

The only advice I have is to check that your GPU is actually on. I get the error you mention a lot, because I forget to hit the turbo button on me Vaio to switch it from stamina to speed mode.

Also, have you tried using the standard launcher that ships with Minecraft instead of the technic one? Third party apps tend to be buggy sometimes.
