Comments.Text: Can you enable debugging options under Administer->System Settings-> Debugging and Error Handling 
  And then goto your CMS root -> sites/default/files/civicrm/configandlog and find the most recently modified file, open it, delete the content and save. 
  Do the same for your php/server error log
  Go back to the error page, then open those 2 log files back and post what's displayed there
  Also if you enable backtracing it will show further details on the error screen
