Besides other possibilities explained in other threads, one of the main issues with CloD graphics (i.e. menu or map distorted, black textures, some crashes etc) are due to some other programs running in the background and interfering with DirectX.
In many cases one would know that things like SweetFX or a video recording software are running but, if you don't know what the running program might be, you can use the following utility:
1.- Download "listdlls" from microsoft (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb896656.aspx)
2.- Extract the executable to a folder
3.- open a CMD prompt
4.- CD to the folder where the exe was was extracted (step #2)
5.- run the following command "listdlls /d d3d"
The output will show every program using DirectX and might help to isolate the culprit.
