Post-Installation Test Code Crashing

[pretorit]

Hi guys, I've been following this tutorial: http://www.sfml-dev.org/tutorials/2.3/start-vc.php and the code compiles just fine, however when I go to run the code a blank terminal window pops up (the green circle doesn't appear) and my computer completely freezes. I've got a Dell Inspiron N5050 with HD i3 2370M graphics card (purchased in 2012), which I think is to blame for the crashes because whenever I interact with the graphics card e.g. by an external app trying to glean it's specs or manually trying to get it's specs in device manager, it crashes my computer. It is possible that the code is to blame so I've uploaded a zip file of the project to google drive:

I would appreciate it if anyone can rule out that the project setup is to blame by testing on their own pc's and if they can offer any advice as to what is causing these crashes.
Thanks for your time.

Well if your PC crashes when you try to interact with the GPU it's hardly any issue with SFML.
Have you installed the proper and latest GPU driver?
Do other OpenGL applications run?

Yes, it says that the software for my drivers is up to date. By other OpenGL applications do you mean GLFW and SDL?? I've only started with OpenGL so this was the first code I ran after setup. It appears like the code is stuck in an infinite loop because the console pops up and the white underscore blinks a few times before my pc freezes. It is a simple green circle so I don't understand how it can be exhausting my computer.

No, I mean, can you run like a simple OpenGL game?
