Full screen optimizations might be messing with your game. Right-click on CS:GO in Steam, go to properties, local files, browse, find the CS:GO.exe, right-click, properties, compatibility, and check 'Disable fullscreen optimizations'. Should do the trick!

Just Alt+Tab out and back into the game. Quick fix. Works like a charm for me every time.

Oh man, the classic black screen issue. First thing, check if your graphics drivers are up to date, outdated drivers are usual suspects. Sometimes, CS:GO settings and your PC settings might not be in harmony, especially the resolution. Make sure they match! Also, give verifying the integrity of game files through Steam a go. It's like telling your game, 'Behave, or else...' and it usually does the trick.

Honestly, just reinstall. When in doubt, nuke it from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
