If disabling the GPU in preferences doesn't bring back the image, then the file is corrupt.

 

File corruption is always caused by failing hardware, power loss during save, worn and loose cables and connectors, etc..

same problem here,
I saved the file and after a few days when I reopen it, I got the same error as the above picture.

Does turning off »Use Graphics Processor« in the Performance Preferences (Photoshop > Preferences > Performance > Graphic Processor Settings) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue? 

Does turning on »Deactivate Native Canvas« (Photoshop > Preferences > Technology Previews) and restarting Photoshop have any bearing on the issue?
