Sometimes, anything can stop.(rarely) To be honest, I'm not a gamer, I will mess around with something, rarely, so I can not be of much help with that sort of thing, being not familiar with them. Did your F1 load after a re-try?
I do know that it's best to max out the ram for smoother gaming and they are GPU hogs in terms of compute cycles.
Make sure the disc you are loading is clean,(or scratched) that can sometimes cause an issue, as for saying with any certainty, I can not.
I don't mind the questions at all, that's why we do this here, but I will not try to comment on something that I don't have any experience with.
If Bioshock seems to work fine at the highest settings, it would lead me to beleive that it is the F1 game, but this is only a guess.
You may check on the F1 site for user threads that may offer some info on this🙂
Also maybe some useful info in this thread:
