I've been using Visual Studio for a little while but I want to go cross-platform. I've just done a fresh install of Code::Blocks 10.05 (with MinGW) from the binary. I open it up and whenever I go to start a new project (whether from the file menu or the start page) it crashes. I saw on the CB forums that it would output the error log to the codeblocks.RPT file, so here's that:

Has anyone ever had this problem before and/or does anybody know how to fix it?

Codeblocks 10:05 is over two years old. Try installing a "nightly" build instead.
