I was having kind of the same problem. I got random freezes for ~5 seconds followed by a black screen and a few seconds later the ingame sounds came back but the screen stayed black. So I had to close the game by Alt-F4 and start it again which made it more or less unplayable.

I did not found a solution to completely fix this problem but at least to continue playing.

I played with the launch parameters ending up with this (the "-winxp" parameter was the one that worked for I guess):

-beta=Expansion\beta;Expansion\beta\Expansion -cpuCount=2 -maxMem2047 -world=chernarus -noPause -nosplash -skipIntro -winxp -mod=@DayZ

For the graphic settings I use video memory set to default, vsync and AA off.

Now the same problem occurs (rarely) but after the freeze/black screen for a few seconds I can continue playing. (not testet 1.7.2.5 yet)

Hope it works for you guys too.
