I am running Python 3.5.2 via 64-bit Anaconda on Windows 10. All packages have been updated using conda update --all. Anytime I try to make a plot via matplotlib 1.5.1, I get an error identical to the one here that simply says "Python has stopped working" with no other information. I tried uninstalling Anaconda and reinstalling it to no avail. The issue does not occur for .py files without matplotlib. This issue seems to have started today for me.

Running the following replicates the issue:
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
plt.plot([1,2,3],[4,1,2])
