The Launcher crashes after 10 seconds. (FATAL ERROR)

Question

When I open the launcher this happens: 

Bootstrap (v5)

Current time is :P

System.getProperty('os.name') == 'Windows 8'

System.getProperty('os.version') == '6.2'

System.getProperty('os.arch') == 'amd64'

System.getProperty('java.version') == '1.7.0_51'

System.getProperty('java.vendor') == 'Oracle Corporation'

System.getProperty('sun.arch.data.model') == '64'

I think you need reinstall minecraft or java to fix it.

You can learn here: Reinstalling minecraft - How to Reinstalling / Updating Java to Play Minecraft
