Visual Studio 2013 crashes and restarts every time I run my test solution

Question

Visual Studio 2013 crashes and restarts every time I run my test solution. When I hit F5 IIS Express starts, the solution builds successfully but after that a dialog box comes up saying Visual Studio is not responding and looking for a solution and then restarts itself.

I tried re-installing IIS express, Visual Studio 2013 but no good.

It is a blank solution and I have not added any code.

Answer 1

I think I figured out how to fix the issue:

Go to:

Visual Studio 2013 -> Tools -> Options -> Projects and Solutions -> Web Project -> Use 64 bit version of IIS Express

for websites and projects has to be checked if you are using a 64 bit machine.
