What would cause nVidia to produce this error when I run minecraft with HD textures?

Question

I am hoping there is someone who has any idea what this error is all about.

I am trying to use a 128x texture pack. Specifically SphaxPureBDcraft 128x. I can use the base 128x resource pack with no problem at all. However when I add mod patches to the mix the game gives me this error.

Your hardware configuration does not meet the minimum specifications needed to run the application. The application must close.

Error code:6

The problem is I have no idea what it is talking about. My computer specs are as followed;

• Intel Core-i7 4820k
• 32GB Corsair Vengance DDR3 Memory @1600mhz
• Asus ROG Rampage IV Extreme
• LSI Megaraid 9260-8i server raid controller
• 4 1TB WD Caviar black 7.2k HDDs
• 2 Nvidia GTX 660 GPUs w/ 2GB ea. (in SLI mode, running in surround mode)
• Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit (also tried it with 8 pro still no luck)

So what the heck is talking about?

Things I have checked;

• Java is updated (JDK 7 update 55)
• Updated LWJGL libraries (v2.9.1)
• Installed brand new Nvidia GPU driver
• Tried running on Windows 8 Pro (I don't know why...)
• Reinstalling Minecraft
• Reinstalling Minecraft Forge
• Recreating the texture pack from scratch

Things I have not done;

Ask the good people of SuperUser <----- here right now

So any ideas?

I can provide any info as needed.

Oh yeah it might be good to know, I can run the 64x texture pack just fine. Its just the 128x pack. But I was always able to run it in the past on older machines.

Thanks in advance.

You could try disabling the OpenGL option under video settings. I don't recall this being a requirement for higher end texture packs.

Also, I've always found Optifine to be useful with higher end texture packs. https://optifine.net/home Improves framerate and allows for more tweaks to the video settings.
