rainfrog Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I spent 4 hours on a re-tex of ebony armor all was going well took a break watched some netflix, pc froze, had to hard reset. Now fallout mod manager stops working immediately, GIMP will not read DDS files, my modded armor that was showing fine loads as purple no-tex in game. I have uninstalled fomm and GIMP several times no idea what went wrong here. any ideas? I was really enjoying getting into this and know I cant do anything and all my work is useless. Thanks xXRainfrogXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks xXRainfrogXx Almost sounds like your computer rolled back to an earlier system restore point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainfrog Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 No I just fresh installed windows 7 last week so I have no restore points set. it is weird I have uninstalled and deleted the programs and re installed them. Fomm stops working immediately so I cant even open the bsa files now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) Virus, memory corruption, processor leakage, motherboard short. Pick your poison. Any other programs responding oddly? memtest can generally rule out your RAM as the issue. Edited January 2, 2012 by MShoap13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainfrog Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Its a brand new rig i7-2700k, asus gen3 pro board gskill ripjaws ram. I just put it togeather and installed win 7 last week. Everything else works fine. I havent found any viruses or anything like that. I'm not having any problems or slowdown with anything else. Im thinking of backing my files up again and re installing windows if I cant find a solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MShoap13 Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 Brand new 2700k with >1600MHz RAM you say? Seriously, add memory controller issues to the list I started earlier. I'll repeat this as you didn't comment, but are you having issues with any other programs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rainfrog Posted January 2, 2012 Author Share Posted January 2, 2012 Not having problems with anything else. I still dont know what happened but I reinstalled Fomm and Gimp to users/public instead of programs and they work again. all my work was lost though the files I had created were corrupted somehow. Message was improper dds file, improper dds header yada yada. so a nights work lost but im back up and running so I will start again. All PC components are testing good and within proper voltages ect... Thank you for your time I appreciate it. xXRainfrogXx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClayboTGW Posted January 2, 2012 Share Posted January 2, 2012 (edited) I have had Gimp freak out like that before when left idle for a long time then it will not open files it actually drops its dds plugin... a simply reboot of my PC always fixes it Edited January 2, 2012 by ClayboTGW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
