Disabled the firewall even though I managed to do ok in windowed mode, no good.

Sorter13 -  Are you referring to the beta driver: AMD Catalyst™ 13.11 Beta Driver for Windows® ?

The most common reasons for a black screen issue are:

• Resolution: the screen and/or game screen resolution is not properly adjusted
• Graphic card drivers
• A Windows update is missing

If ever just like Mishkkaa you can launch the game win windowed mode then changing the resolution might help.

Also, if you have not tried yet, please install the Beta driver (link above - Windows 8 users).

Additional information

Need for Speed Rivals crashes when trying to load after the tutorial

Players on Windows 8, when running two AMD 7970 graphics cards with Crossfire functionality, will experience a crash on the loading screen following the Need for Speed Rivals tutorial.

To solve this issue, update to the beta graphics card driver, AMD Catalyst 13.11 Beta V9.2, or simply disable Crossfire and unplug the Crossfire cable to prevent the crash.

I had this problem too and i solved it.

Download this software-

http://gc-modding.googlecode.com/files/WindowedBorderlessGaming_1.1.1.4.zip

run WindowedBorderlessGaming it will appear on the bottom on the screen.

Now run NFS Rivals on windowed screen and tap the icon of WindowedBorderlessGaming and press "add window".. now go back to the game and press F3... it should work on full screen.

Thanks for the help.  Yes, I'm currently using the beta driver you linked.  But initially was using 13.9.

I can get into windowed mode with ALT+Enter.  From there I tried every resolution option, switching to Fullscreen after applying it.  Same issue, black screen with sound skipping.  Windows says it's all up to date.  

It's in another thread here but I've tried:

• Running x86 Mode
• Both modes as Admin
• Both modes with Windows 7 Compatibility
• Disabling Origin Overlay
• Clean install 13.9 ATI Drivers

I had the same problem after installing from Origin.  I tried to boot the game up and all I got was black screen.  However, after I shut down the computer and restarted the game ran fine.  I will update my drivers as well.
