For a long time now I've been having issues with certain games (Actually quite a lot of games) with this same recurring issue:
Whenever I try play a game it will open fine with absolutely no errors at all but when it goes into fullscreen it just has a black screen then minimizes shortly after. Every time I try maximize it it just minimizes again after a short delay. Whenever I do maximize it, I can hear the sound of any background music might be playing or any noises etc.
Some of these are Steam games and others are Origin games. I have tried deleting the Steam appcache and it did work for some games but it seems I will have to delete it and restart my computer whenever I want to play a game and even still that only works sometimes.
Computer specs that may help:
- My graphics driver is up to date
- My graphics card is a Nvidia Geforce GTX 760
(I will add any extra details if you request them)

Make sure that your graphic cards driver and DirectX components are up to date.
Some software may interfere on the fullscreen part of a game. Software like teamviewer, displayfusion, or VNC can interfere when a game try to hook fullscreen. Try to shutdown a few running program and see if it works.
