Apps not starting up?

Has anyone else had this issue.

I have the 3GS with the 3.1 OS. On several occasions, all my 3rd party Apps will not open. When you click on them, the initial screen pops up for a second and then immediately shuts itself down. I have tried restarting, charging, and Sync'ing but nothing fixes it. All the pre-loaded Apps work fine, and after a while things just start working again.

I have a ton of Apps so I have no idea if one is causing the problem or if it's the phone itself. I would like to avoid resetting my phone and having to download everything again.

If anyone has any ideas on what's wrong or how to fix it, that would be great!

Syncing with iTunes will enable you to sync the apps with the iPhone, no re-downloading necessary.

This hasn't happened to me, but others have downloaded and installed a free app and the problem disappears.
