Sounds similar to a "lack of RAM" problem. How many and what do you have? DDR 1 /2 /3 ?
Had this with CoD 5: while maploading, the screen goes black and returns when the Spawnscreen was ready. This sometimes took several minutes.

My Advise: just wait on jour next black screen for 3 minutes for something happening. Or: hit "Alt" + "Enter". That puts the game into "windowed mode" wich also effects the game to reduce from "DirectX overlay" to "DirectX plane window". This needs less Ram and frees some perfomance percentage for the cpu. This could help to bring back your game screen.

If not, post more details:
PC configuration: hardware, software (os, atnivir)

.... good luck!

OS : win XP
Graf : Radeon 5750 1 ggb
main : Asus P5KPL/EPU
Internal : 4ggb 233 mhz ram
Dual core 2.33 mhz

I don't think that this wouldent be enough. But I will try our tips .. Thanx all :-D

ok...:

Internal : 4ggb 233 mhz ram

..would mean DDR 1 Ram at 233mhz..? This Ram is very old and slow. DDR has up to 800 or 1024mhz and actuall DDR3 is even faster. So if it is really DDR1 ram (hope for you, that you just mistyped), I m pretty sure that is is the reason for your black screen. Just too slow RAM.
