Can any one told me what may be the issue or how can I identify what is the issue?

I had a similar problem with IIS Crash. The exception code "0xc00000fd" is a stack over flow, and likely there is a piece of code in your application that was throw this exception.

How you can identify this? I recommend that you catch a crash dump.

1) Install a software to get a crash dump. I recommend the DebugDiag Tools.

2) After the installation, configure the DebugDiag Tool following these instructions:

• Selecting a Crash rule Selecting a IIS App pool (w3wp.exe)
• Selecting the app pool of application
• Configuring a Stack over flow exception (0xc00000fd) in Advanced Settings/Exceptions and finish the setup.

3) Wait for a first crash dump to be created in folder location. Ex: C:\DebugDiag\Logs. When the crash dump was created, use the DebugDiag Analysis to open the file from C:\DebugDiag\Logs and a HTML report will be created.

4) In report you see quickly the problem in analysis summary on the top of the page. In my case, there was a recursive function without stop conditional that leading the app poll fall.
