We recently noticed the app pool has been restarting every 5-30 minutes. We're not sure how long this has been going on. It was only noticed because the site gets slow right after a restart. I can't get good logging to tell me what the cause is. Application_End does not seem to be hit when this happens. The system event viewer just tells the the app pool restarted. It usually says the job limit has been exceeded, but I have no limit set in my IIS. 

Application pool 'azcourts.gov(domain)(2.0)(pool)' exceeded its job limit settings.

A process serving application pool 'dev.azcourts.gov(domain)(2.0)(pool)' suffered a fatal communication error with the World Wide Web Publishing Service. The process id was '16100'. The data field contains the error number. 

I thought it might be a stack overflow somewhere in some custom modules I made recently, so I temporarily took them off the site. It kept happening. I thought it may be some scheduled task so I disabled the scheduler completely. It kept happening.
I've checked the /bin folder, Global.asax, web.config and App_Code folders and none of them are being changed that frequently. Does a change in the Desktop Modules folders have any affect?

I've looked in the Admin-Event viewer and there is no common thing that happens right before a restart.
I'm out of ideas for what is causing this. Any hints on where to look next?

app pool have constraints specified in machine.config (or more normally defined in the application pool settings in IIS) including max number of threads, max memory, max running time,etc. you are exceeding one of these max's which forces a recycle (and the "...job limits..." message. Typically you would monitor the site usage (e.g. use performance monitor) to track some of these constaints to determine which one is at issue - often it will be some poor performing piece of code which causes the CPU to spike to 100% for a period of time and trigger the max CPU usage.

I don't always get the 'job limit.." message. Soemtimes I just see the app pool restart message by itself. Anybody have ideas on how to trap what the problem is? I have taken off any new modules in the last two months and it still happens.

i believe the reason is logged in the windows event log so check that and see if it reveals which limit is violated (or try adding perf mon as I suggested)
