There is no way anyone can explain this. We do not know what changes you made to your system, what software you have running at any given moment, what hardware you have among various other things.
There is no way anyone can sit here and try to explain why your icon cache just went away. It is something that can not be explained without knowing EVERY detail of your PC at every given second. Even then it is close to impossible to explain.

Did you try a Icon Replacement program like IconPacker? If so that is the problem. It replaced the default Icons with others which are now lost.
