BLACK SCREEN WITH SOUND HELP!

I'm running a GTX 960 and a g3258 at stock speeds with the latest drivers for all my hardware.

When I launch battlefront I see a white flash and then the in-game audio starts but I can only see the cursor. I think I can click on menu buttons because I here them click but I'm not sure. I tried everything short or deleting and reinstalling the game and would love some advice on how to proceed
