Screen gone black

Yesterday I renewed my subscription, downloaded the updates, and began playing without incident. This morning I was transporting some ammo from Jita to my local mission hub and once I got to the system and tried to warp to the station I was notified that I couldn’t dock because I had to much stuff in my cargo hold, which was unlikely considering I had already gone several jumps without incidence. In response I offlined and onlined my cargo expanders but there was no change in my cargo capacity, I next logged out and logged back in to see if there was a change but there wasn’t, and finally I jettisoned the excess ammo and proceeded to dock up. Once I was docked I noticed my cursor would reset to the middle of the screen anytime I got close to the edges of the window I play EVE in, but I managed to check my cargo capacity a final time and to my surprise the proper cargo space was listed. Seeing that the cargo space was back to normal I decided to undock and go salvage the mission I had previously ran, but my screen went completely black. As of right now I can open up the EVE options menu by hitting ESC, the FPS tracker, and I can see when people on my watch list log in or out. So far I have tried updating my video card drivers, made sure I was running dx9, reset all Eve settings, and running the Eve repair tool.

The issue seems to be limited to the one character as my others are functioning fine. Any assistance in resolving the issue would be appreciated.

I have had much the same problem, in fact I may have an answer as to what was going on with your cargo hold as well.

before the screen went black and didnt come back, one of the glitches I had was that my character's skill points were set to 0 and I couldnt operate any of my modules.

Looking through other forum posts by CCP Habakuk ive found these.
