@DJBarry - The CPU speed has nothing to do with the black screen. It's nice that you're giving ragepage a heads up about performance, but it's kind of irrelevant at the moment.
@ragepage - To elaborate on what DJBarry said, it sounds like your dump is corrupt (90% of black screen errors I've seen on the forums are from bad/corrupt dumps). Redump/rerip your game from the disc. Once you get a new dump, verify the MD5 hash (use WinMD5 to get the hash) by comparing it to verified dumps. Go to websites like Redump.org or GameTDB.com to get verified hashes. If your hashes and theirs don't match, you don't have a 1:1 byte-for-byte copy of the game disc, and you should redump your game until the hashes match.
