Hi, i just downloaded my new game F1 2018.

I had GPU issue when playing it, after few minutes in game, i got black screen followed by no signal by my monitor, my PC still running in the background, i still can hear my friend talking on Whatsapp call but i can't see any graphic output, after i force restarted my PC with the button on the case, the AMD graphic driver was gone, but the file still there on my SSD - last hope i got was restarting normally via alt-f4, and the driver was back. (i'm sure it was not my monitor or the cable fault because they were brand new and no thermal issue, 74C under full load)

I was suspected it was the game fault not compatible with AMD latest driver (v21.4.1), but after i open something, the screen freezed and it was repeated, my monitor suddenly showing no signal, blah blah blah, force restart again. (This happened once)

Any help? i would appreciate that very much. Thanks.

I'd say the generic 240w PSU(meager 20a 12v rail) masquerading as a 600w PSU(an actual good 600w unit would have a 12v rating of ~50a) complete with a fake 80 plus rating(not on clearresults list of certified units) is likely the problem.

Honestly, what you are describing is an under-powered PSU, that is failing when put under a heavy load (like when gaming). I would replace with a quality make/model.

But i own this PSU like 2 years ago, i got no power issue until yesterday, i played AC:Valhalla, Cyberpunk, etc without any power issue, this problem came after i download the F1 2018 and update latest GPU driver, maybe rolling back GPU driver is a good idea? because I'm a little short of cash right now to replace PSU.
 
Noone has ever had issues until they did. It's not like you PSU will hold a sign " I have issues ". You were pushing your luck with it until one day it wasn't enough. The PSU may not be your problem but it definitely IS a problem. You need to buy a quality build PSU with proper protections and wattage rating.

Where did you get the game from?

That PSU is a bad day waiting to happen, and there's a good chance when your luck runs out and it does finally die it won't die alone and will end up costing alot more than a decent PSU would have from the start. It is possible it's not a power issue, but the elephant in the room should be addressed first.
