This may seem like a duplicate and it might be, to I apologize in advanced if is. :O
Anyways, I've recently tried to load up minecraft with forge after wiping out my hard drive (all the data was backed up) and for some odd and unknown reason, it doesn't even pop up after clicking "Play". To add a little more information to this, the program "javaw.exe" (which is minecraft to those who don't entirely know) shows up in taskmanager for about 6-14 seconds; then proceeds to close without warning.
No sign of minecraft shows up other than that so I'm a little confused about this. I'm certain it must be a missing file of some sorts, or maybe a diffrent java compared to my previous hard drive.
I'll try to get a log of some sorts as soon as I can, but its a little difficult considering after clicking play nothing pops up. Not even a text file in the .minecraft folder.

Alright so I found the solution to this issue...
As it turns out, Forge is only part of the issue. The main part is Java. Java 8 is for some reason compatible with forge, forcing it to basically close and not load up. No idea why, but Java 7 seems to work just fine.
Hope this helps anyone that has this issue as well.

Why is Minecraft Forge not loading?
One of the most common causes of Minecraft Forge installation problems is outdated Java software installed on your computer. Minecraft is built around Java and if your system is not running the latest version of it, then it can cause performance issues including problems with installation of mods.Forge 1.7.10 Tutorial - Libraries Wont Download - FIX
