Knowledge Base article:

Summary

Windows Process Activation Service (WAS) is stopping because it encountered an error

Causes

The most common reason why WAS might be stopping unexpectedly is a corrupt IIS configuration file or an incorrectly configured application.

Resolutions

Check the IIS active alerts view to see if there are any alerts generated by the IIS MP about a corrupted IIS configuration file or an incorrectly configured web site. If no alerts are present, check the System and Application event logs on the IIS server.
