The error could be because of various reasons:

One reason could be that the memory usage is exhausted. Try creating a php.ini file and increase the memory_limit.

Another reason could be because of Follow SymLinks in .htaccess file. You sometimes need to comment that line. I would suggest you to go to cPanel and there you will find Error Log button. Click on it and it will show the reason for the error. It will mention the path of the file that is creating the problem and at what line number. From there you will be able to get more info on this error.

Post the error log here if you need any help.

The problem with re-installing is that my work will be gone. My back up was from over a week ago, I've done much since.

Can you access phpmyadmin from cpanel? If so dump the DB onto your hard drive. Download your wp-config.php with FTP and if you have updated your theme FTP it to your hard drive. At least then you will have most stuff backed up.
