Short description of error
Whenever I try to use the Cycles Render engine, the entire application crashes.

Exact steps for others to reproduce the error
Based on a (as simple as possible) attached .blend file with minimum amount of steps

Side Notes
This might have been something with the system, as Blender 2.75a was working previously. Re-installing it didn't fix the issue.

Please:

Ensure both your OS and drivers are fully up-to-date. (Service Pack 1 is required for windows 7)
Ensure your GPU driver supports at least OpenGL 1.4.
Try to disable any running antivirus.
Try the latest build from our buildbot.
Try to start Blender in factory settings (--factory-startup command line option) (this will ensure whether this is a userpref or addon issue or not).
Try to tweak OGL settings in UserPreferences, System tab.
Try to tweak your GPU driver settings (e.g. try different values between 'performance' and 'quality' if you have such slider, etc.).
Attach here the report generated by Help -> System Info.
Launch Blender from the command line and attach here any error printed out in the console. (use --debug-cycles)
Try to place this dll next to your blender.exe (software OGL, will be slow, but will show whether this is a driver issue or not).
