nfs carbon needs a good graphics card .. thats what a blackscreen usually points to .
If you've expected that to happen then I assume this has happen before... It used to happen to me before I got involved in the pc modding community. This is usually a sign that your computer lacks the necessary power to operate the program properly. This can usually be attributed to having a weak graphics card/processor/RAM. The chipset is almost never the problem when games don't run because their only job is to connect the pc parts together and the performance on games usually rely on how much RAM/Processor/Graphics Card power you have. Your hard drive and cd drives should be fine seeing that you were able to install it. But as I've said I'm quite sure it's your graphics card. You should check the game's box for the necessary pc power requirements. I'm quite sure it's your graphics card so check that first. To check that simply right click anywhere on your computer's desktop and click on properties. From there it should display a monitor settings tab and it should say something like "X Monitor running on Y" That Y is the graphics processor you're using.

Good luck I hope this helps.
You may need better graphics card, and ram.
if you have an all-in one card or old vid card you need to upgrade if you think your card should be able to play this game download a newer driver for the card
