Can't Get the Simplest of Programs to Work

[DeepSilenceSSN]

I am still stuck just trying to get started. This has to be some kind of compiler problem or something, because the following code:

#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

int main()
{
    int var1 = 2;

    cout << var1;

    return 0;
}

produces this output for me:

"Process returned 1965940563 (0x752DDF53)   execution time : 0.697 s
Press any key to continue."

I am encountering multiple things that cause very simple programs to work, as previously shown here: http://www.cplusplus.com/forum/beginner/155972/

Doing things like having multiple cout commands adjacent to each other will cause it. Trying to assign a variable a value will do it. Trying to do basic math in the program will do it.

I know computers are very good at following the precise instructions you give them, which means I am telling it to do something I don't know that I am telling it. I am using Code::Blocks 13.12, the file name is main.cpp, and the compiler I told it to use is GNU GCC compiler. I am running Windows 8.1 on a 64 bit laptop. Is it perhaps I have bad compiler settings, or am labeling some metadata wrong, or something like that?

There is nothing wrong with your program.
It works for me using Visual Studio.

I know, that's the point, and why it is so frustrating.

Update: I just ran that code, plus the one in the link above, on another laptop I have that is running Ubuntu. Same version of Code::Blocks, same GNU GCC compiler. Both ran flawlessly. This seems to confirm it is a problem with the Windows laptop that I am not seeing. Does anyone have any ideas?

Are you sure you actually installed the gnu compiler chain? When you installed Code::Blocks did you install the version that includes the compiler?

Please show your build log.

Is that what you were looking for? Do I need to uninstall and reinstall the program?

I'm not a Windows user but does cb_console_runner.exe exist?
