Permalink Settngs- Site Crashs if I change from default

Hi there,

My site crashed a couple of days ago with an internal server error 500.

My hosting company uploaded a backup they had.

I then had 404 and 403 errors.

I deleted my htaccess file and set my permalink settings to default and my site was back up

But I cant change my settings back from the default permalink settings without every part of my site crashing again, admin and front end.

I previously set my permalink settings to post name.

Would this have caused my site to crash in the first place?
