Game and graphic freeze during early game, tab back in, game resume but screen is entirely black

[Commander_Adama]

Every 5-7 game or so my game freeze completely. Sometimes I can tab out and in and it's fine. But more often than not the game resumes but the screen is entirely black and do not return to normal.

Solutions and suggestions are welcome.

Thanks a lot. I'll try the relevant stuff suggested. And report back here if it works. Some of the solutions requires several played games without sound so it might take a couple of days.

Have played many games with the game sound turned off with the /nosound method.
Got the black screen even with this enabled. The log file attached a friend stubled upon:

warning: GetResource: Invalid name ""

Hope this can help solve help?

Which graphic card do you have? Also, you have the newest drivers?

@Commander_Adama Usually a restart solves the Device lost issue. I am not aware of any fix for these, because only a very few people encounter that issue.
