The default theme was broken which is why I got the White screen of death. Just clicking on the themes in appearances in the admin area told me that the default theme was broken, and that WP had now reset the theme. Viola! Things started to work! The comment from marlin above helped! Just upgraded to WP3.0 after a really long time. The default theme was broken which is why I got the White screen of death.

It was simply the default "twentyten" theme that caused it for me. I installed the lightword theme and activated it and once I did that, it showed the page as it should. You could also make sure the .htaccess file is configured correctly. I performed a WP 3.0 upgrade on a domain I’m managing for a friend and got the white screen of death.

Wasn't the -x problem (although that might have contributed) -- it was one of my plugins (and I only had two!). Rename, voila, hey look a website that isn't all white!

I got the "white screen of death" after installing a new plugin. I had no idea what to do. At least I had backed up my database. Your instructions saved me! Thank you so much. I am going to make a pdf out of it and keep it handy for emergencies. Thanks again! Jared, thank you so much for this very clear and easy to follow advice.

It really helped me. I was running Wordpress 2.9.1 and I was getting the "White Screen of Death" every time I tried to pull up the <i>Edit Posts</i> page. I did the folder thing you described above and then slowly added back in all my plugins one at a time. I found that the culprit was that I had the Edit Post page set to display the maximum amount of posts (999). I set it back down to display 50 posts and it worked like a charm.
