Default Wordpress 'post' action no longer working

My blog stopped working this morning.
I went to post and I got a blank screen. No error. Just empty.

It stalls on this page when I hit 'publish':/wp-admin/post.php

Effects new posts as well as editing old posts.

Anyone seen this before?

I just wanted to check if there's an easy fix before I update wordpress.

Try and delete browser cache and try again, also it might be due to hosting issues because I haver personally seen this happen when server load is quite high.

I've checked, definitely not a cache issue and doesn't appear to be server related as the problem is persisting even without any load.

Very strange. It looks like I might need to reinstall WP ... ?

What was the last plugin you installed when you started noticing the errors? Maybe a change in the code is causing the blank screen to appear.

I'd try deactivating the last one and attempt to post again.

That's the weird thing, I haven't installed a plugin in ages.

But there was a WP update that went through, maybe that broke it.

What is the exact error? Is there any error message that appears or is just *completely* blank?

Try and repair the database through phpmyadmin. If it does not work, download a backup of the db, do a fresh install of wordpress and restore the db

The screen is just completely blank. No error. It just hits post.php and stops.

The blog works in every other way - my content displays fine.

The update went through and altered the database without error, so the structure looks fine to me, I think I might need to back it up and drop and recreate it entirely.

Deleting the database fixed the problem.

Very strange ...
