Why does my CS:GO black screen?
Best answer

Typically, a CS:GO black screen can happen for a few reasons. One common culprit is outdated graphics drivers - make sure they're up to date. Another potential issue could be the game's resolution settings not matching your monitor's resolution. Try setting them to the same resolution or opt for windowed mode as a quick fix. Also, don't forget to verify the game's files through Steam; sometimes a missing or corrupted file is the villain behind the curtain.

Just set it to windowed mode, then back. Worked for me like a charm!

I'm gonna say it - sometimes it's just a sign to take a break. But yeah, updating drivers usually does the trick.

DirectX issues have caused black screens for me in the past. Make sure your DirectX version is compatible with CS:GO. Also, a simple computer restart can sometimes work wonders before diving into more complicated fixes.
