Re: Black screen
Video Driver Issue.
What driver do you use ?
Go to settings >> video and select DirectX as the video output module and see if it works.

Re: Black screen
Before changing the video output modules try disabling video overlay by going to:
Settings >> Preferences... >> Video
And untick "Overlay video output". Press "Save" and try a video.
