Amnesia The Dark Descent Black Screen?

I recently downloaded Amnesia the dark descent PC game but it's not working. The game starts up fine and I create my account and select "begin story mode" and it starts, but all I see is a black screen. While in this phase I can open my inventory with the tab button and even check my journal, I hear the noises of the castle, but I can't see the actual game. I have tried reinstalling the game but it hasn't done me any good. Does anybody know what's wrong?
