Visual C++ project is crashing unexpectedly while loading a texture with SFML - c++

Question

I am trying to use SFML to develop a 2D game with C++ in visual studio. I followed all the setup instructions on SFML's site and was able to draw a green circle in a window via their instructions. But when trying to load a texture/image from a file the program crashes and i'm not sure while.
C++ Main.cpp
#include <SFML/Graphics.hpp>
#include "MainGameWindow.h"
#include "Logger.h"
using namespace std;
int main()
{
//auto window = MainGameWindow::GetMGWInstance();
sf::RenderWindow window(sf::VideoMode(720, 480), "TeleMuncher");
// Load a sprite to display
sf::Texture texture;
if (!texture.loadFromFile("/Assets/Menus/oldTvMenu.png"))
Logger::Log(Logger::Message_Status::ERROR, "Texture load failed");
texture.setSmooth(true);
sf::Sprite sprite(texture);
while (window.isOpen())
{
//Process Events
//This is where screen updates will most likely happen
sf::Event event;
while (window.pollEvent(event))
{
if (event.type == sf::Event::Closed)
window.close();
}
window.clear();
window.draw(sprite);
window.display();
}
return 0;
}

I added all of DLL's in SFML lib to my project folder. Heres a video of what happened as well. https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B5fE3M5zscRCdmQ3eWRwcGMxVFE/view?usp=sharing

It's good to check if the the texture loading worked, but you still use it even if it failed:
sf::Texture texture;
if (!texture.loadFromFile("/Assets/Menus/oldTvMenu.png"))
Logger::Log(Logger::Message_Status::ERROR, "Texture load failed");
texture.setSmooth(true);
setSmooth is called even if the loadFromFile() returns a null pointer
so you get this error:
Exception thrown at 0x6B6CD42D (vcruntime140.dll) in TeleMuncher.exe: 0xC0000005: Access violation reading location 0x08C37000.
