@Somesh - There might be an error in your datablocks script. Go to your project, game/managed/datablocks. Now to find out the full problem, we need to see your console log. That is located in your project, console.log. If you could, open that and look for any errors or messages about a syntax error or missing image.

@Michael- Hi, Thanks for taking time to reply. I got it fixed..i'll mention how...

I checked the the datablocks script and everything was as expected...the right filre references etc. etc.

however, it seemed that for some reason, datablock.cs.dso wasnt being updated. So i just deleted the file once and bingo! It works fine again!

Maybe look into this issue? might be a bug or sth... i still have the buggy file saved and will share any info needed..

Thanks again

Yes, the .dso timestamp checking code was fixed in T2D MIT. In 1.7.4 your best bet would be to use the batch file provided (or Torsion) to clear out your .dso files when making changes (or disable .dso generation until you're finished tweaking).
