Cursed Black Screen of Doom

The Problem is, the list of servers tells me that MineRealm is currently online, so I try to go on it. The client says it is loading up the map and such, then I get this cursed black screen of doom. The free RAM shoots back up when this black screen of doom occurs.

I have tried forcing an update, the forced update does nothing to help. I have tried shutting down my computer and turning it back on again, and it doesn't help.

Could it be because I'm currently in my hollow-in-progress, which has lava and water spills everywhere? Or that my brother is doing things on the internet as well on his laptop?

Hopefully I'm not the only person who's had this problem, and any help will be much appreciated.

Thank you, and sorry if this post is a pain in the bum.

One way to try and get past this is to go into options on the main screen and change the render distance to tiny. Then you can log in and change it back.

If that doesn't work, I'm afraid i cant help. A last resort would be to check if the in-browser mode works at minecraft.net

I had this issue. I had to change my texture pack back to the default to fix it.
