Problem with simple GPIO toggling using a timer

I have a simple timer interrupt based GPIO toggling code to be tested on STM32F401 discovery board as shown in this link 

http://codepaste.net/fhmh2v

. The problem is this code doesn't toggle the LED/GPIO. I set a breakpoint inside the timer handler and I observed it is only hit once (I clear the interrupt flag in ISR) and then the whole program is trapped in the while loop of the main function. Could anyone suggest what can be wrong? Thanks.  #gpio #led

void
TIM2_IRQHandler(
void

)
{

 if

(TIM_GetITStatus(TIM2, TIM_IT_Update) != RESET) 
 { 
 TIM_ClearITPendingBit(TIM2, TIM_IT_Update);
 GPIO_ToggleBits(GPIOD, GPIO_Pin_13);
 }
}

with

void

TIM2_IRQHandler(

void

)
{

 if

(TIM_GetITStatus(TIM2, TIM_IT_Update) == SET)
 {
 TIM_ClearITPendingBit(TIM2, TIM_IT_Update);
 GPIO_ToggleBits(GPIOD, GPIO_Pin_13);
 }
}

Although I still don't see why those two are different.
