Ok.
1.got a new copy of drupal.
2.install and config
3.add modules
4.enable modules.
(At this point i used to get a blank screen every time the confirm page came up instead of the module list page, but i managed still)
5.after enabling field_indexer module I got a blank screen for every page on the website.
Ive done those steps to isolate the problem after the same thing happened to me on a website I was working on for a long time and now I cant continue.
How do I uninstall\Undo this module installation not from the (not working) Drupal site?
There's an entire page on the
There's an entire page on the "White screen of death" in the Troubleshooting FAQ.

Using phpmyadmin
You can go into phpmyadmin, if that is what you are using to manage your databases, and disable modules that may be causing the problem.
Go to phpmyadmin and select the database for the site
Select the system table for that database
Then select the Browse tab
Find the module that you want to disable and click the edit button for that table
Change the status from 1 to 0 and then save
note: some modules have associated modules that will have to be disabled as well.
This is a quick solution to get things back from White Screen of Death, but by no means an end all solution to the problematic module.
thanks for the advice guys,
thanks for the advice guys, turns out to be some bad installation of field_indexer module with faceted_search. I had to enable the display for error msgs manually to know that, then to disable the php timeout for scripts just to get the module screen up and going...
