Ran into the black screen abyss myself once or twice. Here's what worked for me: Try updating your graphics drivers first, they could be outdated. If that doesn't help, verify the integrity of game files through Steam. Right-click CS:GO in your library > Properties > Local Files > Verify integrity of game files. Sometimes files get corrupted and this is like a magic fix. If all else fails, reinstall the game. Yeah, it's a pain, but it's like giving your CS:GO a fresh start!

Lower your video settings before launching the game. Sometimes it's just your system throwing a tantrum because it can't handle the graphics.
