[support] So fed up with Drupal 7

Generally, a WSOD is caused by an out of memory error.

What do the apache/php logs say?

Have you tried turning on mysql slow query log?

Have you looked at your max execution time?

But, re:

"mayo theme fully updated drupal 7 core
and 43 additional modules

Any one of the 43 modules could be causing an issue here. Or, if there is
any custom theming, it could be some bad code in your theme.

Additionally, what version of PHP are you running? If you are running 5.4,
that could part of the problem.

In short, there are a slew of potential causes here. I hope this helps get
you started.

Cheers,

Bill
