when ever i try to compile/run my game in eclipse it says this

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at OurGame.Board.checkCollisions(Board.java:78)
at OurGame.Board.actionPerformed(Board.java:40)

at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.pumpEvents(Unknown Source)
at java.awt.EventDispatchThread.run(Unknown Source)

i have fixed this temporarily by exiting out and opening the ide again but its reallly annoying and doesn't work some times.

Have you tried reading the error? The problem is when you run your code. Read the errors that you get:

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at OurGame.Board.checkCollisions(Board.java:78)

At the file: Board.java line 78, in the method checkCollisions you are trying to use an object which is null. (java.lang.NullPointerException)
Try to print the objects that you are using and see which one is null and make sure you initialize it.

If you still having problems you can post your code (the method checkCollisions) so we can take a better look.

why does this only happen sometimes could it be its loading them in the wrong order?

Probably because it happens at Run Time. Meaning that sometimes the object that you use has value, and sometimes it doesn't.
Maybe you have some if statements and there is a case where something is not being initialized.

Do you have some code?

Where exactly is the error at the checkCollisions method? Can you mark it somehow at the code that you posted. Also go to the line that the error says and print everything that you use there.

Have you tried to print the values of the objects you are using?
If you get a NullPointerException at the line:

Rectangle r7 = boss1.getBounds(); // first error here

Then probably, boss1 is null. I find that very hard to believe since you initialize it in the constructor! Since you correctly create the Enemies, the Boss should work.
Can you try this:

System.out.println("boss1="+boss1);
System.out.println("boss1.getBounds()="+boss1.getBounds());
Rectangle r7 = boss1.getBounds();
System.out.println("r7="+r7);

And post again the output, the error, and a small part of the code that you get the error

Heres the working output

boss1=OurGame.Boss@30ec4a87
boss1.getBounds()=java.awt.Rectangle[x=2300,y=100,width=10,height=100]
r7=java.awt.Rectangle[x=2300,y=100,width=10,height=100]

heres the error/non working output

Read the error that you get!

Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException
at OurGame.Board.checkCollisions(Board.java:72)

Board.java:72 line 72. Something there is null.
Print everything that you use at that line. And point out in the code that you posted where that line is.
