2. Playing game
3. Game laggs
4. Screen goes black and I can do NOTHING.

Let me guess. ATI Radeon 9x00 series? I used to have that problem too (it would flicker black and go back to normal. A few minutes later it would happen again. Then on the third time it would go completely black and if i shutdown the game and try to start any 3d application, i get the "nothing will be rendered" error). I think it's a problem with the card itself, not the drivers or anything else in your system. However, if you're using another type of graphic card, you might simply need to update the drivers. What graphic card do you have?

As he/she said, update your drivers first. Also DirectX 9.0C.
