White Barrels?

[gazoox999]

This is a very strange problem:

In Half-Life 2, all barrels, explosive barrels, cans and metal sheets appear as a perfect white colour. With objects that can be moved (eg. ones not stuck into the ground), when they are moved, they revert to their usual textures. As soon as they are still again, they turn back to white. Sometimes, the problem can be avoided by changing the graphics settings in some way, but not always.

I have tried several complete uninstall-reinstalls, where I completely removed all traces of the game from my PC (as far as I could find, anyway), and still had no luck. I've updated my drivers too. It's worth pointing out that I have had several mods (Garry's Mod 9 (latest version), SMod, DayHard, Mistake of Pythagoras) and I have uninstalled them all, but nothing's chnaged.

It's clearly a random texture problem but does anyone know how it might be fixed?

I think I've validated before at some point but I'll try it again.

I have this same problem, and wish i could fix...I used "3d analyze" and that worked, but its kinda un-stable, and crashed...if you figure it out, do share.
