For me the screen goes black if a frame takes more than a couple of seconds to process. But it still refreshes every frame, but turns black in between frames. I think this happened when they introduced the functioning stop simulation button. The new button is located on the top toolbar and when everything goes black you can still press that one. The old behavior was that if you pressed the stop button, it would still simulate until the frame was done and then stop. This could take forever and you were better of just killing Softimage. The new behavior stops the simulation directly which is much better IMO.
