I am using visual studio 2010 on Windows 7 64bit.

I compiled and ran a simple application basically a thing a child could make. Well the second it started to run, it froze my computer and rendered it unresponsive. It continues to do this every time and for every application.

Any ideas why this is happening?

To freeze your entire system seems a hardware problem, or a driver problem.

Try updating your DirectX drivers. WPF uses DirectX to renter the GUI. After that, open again your app and check if it freezes.

Also, you can try to check windows event logger to see if there`s anything unusual.

Thank you all for your help, I tried all of your suggestions, but I have solved it.

COMODO Antivirus/Firewall blocks all applications from calling DLL's, you have to click "Allow" on the dialog that normally pops-up. But since its a DirectX DLL for WPF (since WPF uses DirectX) it froze windows along with my app.
