I finally think I've solved the White Screen of Death from PHP out of memory Fatal Errors.
Full details here: http://www.isthisyourhomework.com/how-to-fix-the-wordpress-white-screen-of-death/
If setting the WordPress and PHP memory limits doesn't work for you, try adding/edditing the following line in either your Apache conf files. I didn't have access to those, so I added the following line to the.htaccess file in my WP server's document root:
RLimitMEM max
Many hosts have set limits on each user on shared-use servers. The above setting will unfetter your server and banish the WSOD.
Also login to your database and check to ensure your DB is not running with a lot of overhead if so optimize your tables.
Finally the most important thing in order to actually fix a WSOD is to tell exactly how you got there. Were you...
1. Upgrading the core?
2. Upgrading the theme?
3. Upgrading a plugin?
4. Installing a plugin?
In my experience there is always a root cause and this is the start of fixing the WSOD

I am about to abandon my self-hosted website. I have uploaded a theme and added some plugins and now I have the WSOD. I have renamed the plugins folder to plugins.hold, added index.html, index.htm, index.php to the directory index and still WSOD. Please help I am so desperate. My website won't open as well. But when I try to post from my iphone app, I am able to see the content. Please help.

Try:
- switching to the Twenty Eleven theme by renaming your current theme's folder inside wp-content/themes and adding "-old" to the end of the folder name using FTP or whatever file management application your host provides.
- re-uploading all files & folders - except the wp-content folder - from a fresh download of WordPress.
