I’ll try, but it might help if we knew what platform and OS you are using.
First, I’ve found it is not a good idea to save a working GIMP file as a PSD. If you must do this, set up a sequential backup scheme. Best practice is to use GIMP’s native format until you are finished, then use “Save as …” To save this situation, have you tried launching GIMP, then using File Menu: Open as Layers …? Not using that option with a PSD file often results in problems if the PSD file contains layers.
