 * I’d guess about 50% of the time when I click some admin action, I get a 404 page.
   I refresh the page and get a message that data will be re-sent to the server.
   I say OK, and most of the time the relevant admin page will then appear with 
   a confirmation that the action has been taken. Sometimes it takes more than one
   refresh to get the job done.
 * Another problem which may be related to the above is I sometimes have trouble
   getting a whole page of posts listed in the Edit Posts page. Usually a refresh
   will take care of the problem, but I have one site today that is refusing to 
   display more than one post, no matter which option or filter at the top I use.

 * Have you tried:
 * – deactivating **all** plugins to see if this resolves the problem? If this works,
   re-activate the plugins one by one until you find the problematic plugin(s).
 * – switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
 * – [resetting the plugins folder](http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F)
   by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause
   problems.
 * – re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a **fresh** download
   of WordPress?
 * – [increasing the available memory](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/253495#post-1017842)?
