Ah, the classic CS:GO black screen conundrum! Happened to me more times than I care to admit. First thing, check if your graphics drivers are up to date. Outdated drivers are like old milk - not gonna do you any good. Next, try running the game in windowed mode by adding '-windowed' in your CS:GO launch options. If all else fails, verify the integrity of game files through Steam. It’s like giving your game a health check-up - sometimes, that's all it needs!

Just reinstall the game, lol. Works every time for me. No need to overcomplicate things.

Disable any background applications you got running. Sometimes, other programs are like attention-seeking cats, distracting your system when it’s trying to focus on CS:GO.
