Solution 1

I bet this is on a page that you recently added to the site. You'll probably find that you didn't specify the master page to use for the page.

Solution 2

please check that is there any HTML tags or ServerControls is outside the ContentPlaceHolder. If yes then shift those inside the ContentPlaceHolder.

Hi well all my tags are correct, but intrestingly i got this error that says "A loop was detected in the master page file references."

check the hierarchy of the master pages (it seems that you have made a circular reference between your master pages).
