System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException when i run MVC 4 application

Question

Suddenly i'm not able to my mvc4 application. I didn't do any change in the code. any idea where and how can i solve this issue? or have more information to trace this issue?

I restarted my PC a couple of times, also checked these articles

1. Stackoverflow
2. Ms

They suggest to check the part of code that causes this. but in my case i don't even arrive to any of my code.

The folder mentioned by Intelitrace is empty:

C:\\Windows\\Microsoft.NET\\Framework64\\v4.0.30319\\Temporary ASP.NET Files

Inner exception message:

Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory is corrupt.

error:

A similar issue was solved here

Finally tracked this down with the help of WinDBG and SOS. Access violation was being thrown by some unknown DLL. Turns out a piece of software called "Nvidia Network Manager" was causing the problems. I'd read countless times how this issue can be caused by firewalls or antivirus, neither of which I am using so I dismissed this idea. Also, I was under the assumption that it was not environmental because it occurs on more than 1 server using different hardware. Turns out all the machines I tested this on were running "NVidia Network Manager". I believe it installs with the rest of the motherboard drivers.

Which may be an issue that is outside of your application. In this guy's case there's a bad software that's affecting his application. You might wanna try tracking it with the tools he mentioned. Good luck!
