OpenCV.3.0 error : 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000 - c++

Question

My code is working just fine in debug mode and here is the Output. Once I tried it in release mode I got this error :
Unhandled exception at 0x5E3ADF2C (msvcp120d.dll) in Project4.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x00000000.
From what I read on the internet, I think it is something that has to do with uninitialized Pointer or some other variable. my bet is on : vector< vector< Point > > contours;in the findSquares function. I tried to intitialize it with everything I could think of but no luck so far.
I am using Visual Studio 2013 with OpenCV.3.0.0 the X86 version.Here is the complet code :

You're mixing debug and release libraries in your linking settings.
From the comments to the question:
I linked both opencv_world300d.lib and opencv_world300.lib in Additional Dependencies.
You shouldn't link to both of them. Link to:
opencv_world300d.lib in Debug
opencv_world300.lib in Release
