I've just finished a clean install of Windows XP (New Hard Drive so decided to do a declutter), before I did the clean install all my games and 3D apps were working fine, now they cause a black screen soon after starting (I can play World of Warcraft long enough to say "Hi" to my guild then it goes black screen on me).
The hardware setup has not changed since I reinstalled Windows, drivers and Windows are all up to date, DirectX is up to date and everything 2D works fine.
Additional Note: Just tested it while running iTunes in the background and it appears the PC itself just stops.
