Mixing Visual Studio 2010 and 2012 projects in Visual Studio 2012 solution

I have a solution which has 8 projects, all of them were created in Visual Studio 2010 (solution and projects). Now, we're using Visual Studio 2012, and all them of can be opened and used in VS 2010 and 2012, and this is nice.

But, I created a new solution and a new project in VS 2012, and added all projects from the old solution in this new solution. So, now I have a new solution created in VS 2012 which have 1 project created in VS 2012 and 8 projects created in VS 2010.

Now I'm having problems with this new solution. Sometimes the Visual Studio 2012 crashes, randomly, during solution loading, during build, during debug, before run.

Should I recreate all old projects in VS2012 and avoid to mix projects versions inside a solution created in VS 2012 ?

SCREEN SHOTS:

Sometimes crashes with this window (collection information...):

And other times, crashes with this window (just checking for solution):

All times no solution is found, and is just restarted:

There is a known issue under investigation where Visual Studio 2012 randomly crashes after installing KB2781514 for certain installations. If you have it installed, try uninstalling it to see whether this fixes it.

Try disabling all add-ins and extensions to see whether any of them is causing this behavior. VS2010 and 2012 should be mutually compatible as long as you don't add a 4.5 project (which VS2010 can't handle).

If the problem persists, open a ticket on Connect or use the feedback client and upload a minidump or a crash report bucketid. The product team will look into your issues.
