Which modpack? What are you using to start it? What OS are you using?

Check the Java version on the server, then make sure the command line switches are still valid. Java has changed a lot in the past 3-4 years and I still see people advising the use of switches that worked in Java 1.7 on the latest Java versions, even though half the switches no longer mean anything...

As an example, on the Client side you used to have to allocate 4GB (64 bit Java) ram for the heap in version 1.0.7 but that's now the default in 1.0.8 without specifying anything. Modded Minecraft has moved on, however, to the point where modern packs like to see 6-8GB :D

IIRC 1.7.10 was the last version of MC that was supported using 32-bit Java. Everything beyond that requires 64-bit, if for no other reason that 32-bit can't support the memory required for OS + Java + MC + mudpack + heap requirement (allocation).

32-bit anything (OS, Java) has a maximum hardware limit of 4GB (2^32 == 4,294,967,296)
