Black Screen on game bootup.

So I started playing Asura's Wrath today, and after an hour or two play session I took a break. Returning I found that i could not play Asura's Wrath or Tales of Graces F (only two games I have). Both boot up after compiling shaders and show a black screen, which was weird because I didn't change anything. The fps locks at whatever number it was, so I think it is freezing.
I have tried changing various cpu and gpu settings to no avail, as well as restarting my pc twice.

Thanks in advance for any help, and I hope you have a wonderful day~!

EDIT: made my message clearer, added that the fps locks when it is stuck at the black screen.
