If your server is running as part of a cluster (i.e. requests to your application are balanced across multiple servers), you must ensure that your machines are all configured to use the same machine key.

ASP.NET performs validation of ViewState data when a Postback occurs. This validation uses a private key (the Machine Key) to guarantee the integrity of the data. If you don't explicitly specify this key, it is generated for you. Different machines will generate different keys, and thus load-balanced requests may fail validation because they are validating against different keys depending on where the page is first served from and where the Postback is sent back.

This article tells you more about the purpose of machine keys as well as how to configure your servers.

You need to have the same validation keys inside your web.config on all server.

You can generate the keys with the help of this site

Please also check your IIS. In the connections section, Display Applications pools list, choose the expected pool and go to 'Recycle...' tool menu. Make sure that enough memory is allocated. To see that, watch the w3wp.exe process used amount of memory within the task manager on the machine where IIS is installed. Set up properly the Recycling manager properties. I discarded 'Virtual memory use' checkbox and prefered to plan specified hours for recycling pool application.
