When I try to Debug (by placing breakpoints, or when an exception has
been raised by my program) in Windows my computer gets freezed and
only switching off the power gives me control of it again.

What to do about this? Since it gets freezed, I can't look at the
Lazarus console window to see any information

My Debugger is set to:
GNU debugger (gdb)
c:\lazarus\mingw\bin\gdb.exe

Can you try debugging your software using gdb directly? put GDB on
your PATH, and go to the command line (also called DOS Prompt). Next
execute:

gdb myexecutable.exe

> break FPC_RAISEEXCEPTION
> run

If this doesn´t work, then it´s a problem on GNU Debugger with your
system.
