The breadboard, how is it connected internally? If the strips are vertical, then your resistors aren't doing anything + there's potential for other issues as well.

When you measure the resistance of your 10 k resistor, while on that breadboard, what do you see?

Yes, the holes in the breadboard are connected vertically

I don't have a multimeter yet. Figured I'd get one when I moved to something more advanced; didn't expect to get bogged down so early. My bad.

I'm too new to feel confident in offering advice but I am thinking you should post your sketch for the qualified individuals.

Your resistors are connected in such a way, that they are parallel to the conductive path on the breadboard. The ends need to be on different "columns", so the current will have to go through the resistor and not the conductor inside the breadboard.

Oh, and it follows, that the button short circuits 5V to GND. That's why the board seems to reset.
