Mafia black screen

Solved
Hi guys or girls
I bought Mafia again, the installation went well but when I launch the game a black screen appears and my computer completely crashes (reset). If anyone knows how to fix this problem, please let me know, that would be nice... thanks in advance!!

          1. A recent sapphire card, well the screen is normally installed???? I don't quite understand your question.

            1. I wanted to know if your video output is integrated into the motherboard

              but it's indeed a card.

              1. Yeah, I installed it not long ago and all my other games work perfectly... I wonder if Mafia isn't a bit too old.
