When I start minecraft, I try to open the resource pack menu, but the game crashes. It says it's due to "Render screen"

Well, I start up my MC, and I click play- the game seems to launch instantly. When i go to change my resource pack, (I click on options, then resource packs) the game closes, and the launcher pops up with a crash report. The said reason was considered "Render screen"
I'd really like to get some feedback on this quick, It's interrupting plans of mine.
