First off StormKing3, you posted the log again. Please post the crash report which can be found at   C:\Users\thhando\AppData\Roaming\.minecraft\crash-reports\crash-2016-10-23_19.39.52-server.txt

Secondly, like Samwise said, if you allocate 2GB you will still have 8GB. Allocating 2GB tells minecraft that out of the 8GB, minecraft can use up to 2GB. However this does not prevent other programs from using that 2GB if minecraft is not using it. Here's some examples to help you understand how RAM allocation wroks and what happens if minecraft or your computer run out of RAM.

Ex1. You have 8GB of  total RAM. Programs are currently using 3GB. You have 2GB allocated to minecraft and you launch minecraft. Result: Minecraft runs without crashing.

Ex2. You have 8GB of  total RAM. Programs are currently using 3GB. You have 500MB allocated to minecraft and you launch minecraft. Result: Minecraft crashes as a result of not enough RAM.

Ex3. You have 8GB of  total RAM. Programs are currently using 7.5GB. You have 2GB allocated to minecraft and you launch minecraft. Result: Minecraft crashes (and likely your computer too) as a result of not enough RAM.

Ex4. You have 16GB of total RAM. Programs are currently using 3GB. You have 160GB (not a typo) allocated to minecraft and you launch minecraft. Result: Minecraft runs without crashing as long as its RAM usage does not exceed 13GB which it shouldn't. If you have enough excess RAM there shouldn't be any consequences of allocating more than you have total. However, I don't recommend you do this as minecraft doesn't need it nor does it provide any benefits whatsoever. It also comes with the risk of crashing your computer.
