I really don't know why my website is constantly crashing.

I see blank screens when i enter my site address as well as trying to access the administrator page.

The last time this similar situation occured was about 3 months ago and I fixed it by replacing the .htaccess and configuration.php files with the ones from the original joomla installation files

However this method does not work this time.
I've spent many hours trying to figure out what the problem is.
is it more like a php coding error? or language encoding issue?

btw my joomla is installed on godaddy's servers

thanks!

You can very easy check your Joomla-files with MD5 Comparison Tool which don't need login or administrator access. Take just 5 minutes to use;

[ ] Download and RUN the Forum Post Assistant / FPA Instructions available here and are also included in the download package. Post the generated results in your security/been hacked topic.

[ ] Ensure you have the latest version of Joomla for your 1.5 or 2.5 version of Joomla. Delete all files in your Joomla installation, saving a copy of the configuration.php file.

A Safe route for disaster relief

save the configuration.php file and your images and personal files one by one, (not the folder as it may contain unwanted files)
wipe the entire folder where Joomla! is installed
upload a new clean full package latest version of joomla 1.5.x or Joomla /2.5.x (minus the install folder)[2]
reupload your configuration file & images.
reupload or reinstall the latest versions of your extensions , templates (even better is to use original clean copies to ensure that the hacker/defacer did not leave any shell script files in your site)
