If you are working with WordPress more than a week you must happened to see this common error of White screen death. Its really irritating because we can't identify the actual error or what we did wrong ?. If you must be developer of WordPress Plugin or Theme , else you must be a user of WordPress. So here i will explain both of you.

First I am going to explain on User view. Because users can't find the actual root coding of Your WordPress. 

User View to Solve it :

1. Possible way of solving the problem is to deactivate the plugin or a theme you installed lastly. It may have some errors in coding and not fixed well or not handled with error catching event.

2. Use a expert to find-out the thing which affected by your last plugin or theme. Because whenever you install a plugin or a theme, it may create certain data's into your WordPress database. So first you must find-out the things completely and remove it and delete the files in your wp-content folder. 

3. Another Popular way is to deactivate all plugin and themes you installed and make a fresh install of (wp-content/ ) folder.
