xcellerator, are you using Max's CP when trying to play the game and it does this? You could try using the Speed Boost in the CP and that should take care of any graphical problems such as this. Or you could just apply the Front Row Camera view and see if that works for you, if you don't want to have a black background. You could also try updating the drivers for your graphics card, as it is likely a problem with your GPU (as opposed to your mobo).
Hope this helps.

I think your video driver just took a huge shit while you played guitar hero.
