Literally someone else had a similar problem not to long ago, so this is what i told him to do Im almost Positive that the last one will work, as i had the EXACT same problem with RO2, Anyways pretty tired right now (had a last minute house inspection, so i stayed up all night cleaning till 7 am.) to type all this back up again so i'll just paste what i told the other member having issues So first thing is to close Steam and Restart your Computer, Then follow the instructions down below
Well it could be a number of things causing this problem. I had a similar problem with SR3 and RO2, Not sure if it was exactly what happened to you, but mine wouldn't freeze. It would actually Black screen with the menu sounds on and i would have to Tab+Alt to get out of it. If you have something along the lines of that then its quite easy to fix. Just keep reading down towards the end.

Thirdly you can Try this trick. This has worked for me countless of times. Its Manually changing the Resolution of a game. This fixes Black Screens most of the time. Find the directory of the game. There should be a config file with all the options in it.(It might be in your steam>Steam apps>common>[name of game]>Config>settings if your using Steam)Keep in mind that ALL games are different. It should be in the folder where your game is located. From there all you have to do is find and change your "Resolution" it should be somewhere at the bottom and say "Res X and Res Y" to about 800 X 600 Now this might help you out and solve your problem with the Black screen. Remember to save and don't change anything else.
If all else fails then it might be time to upgrade some of your PCs hardware. Or you can Call a PC tech and explain to him what is happening. But me mindful that they might try to get you to buy a New PC or Buy the most expensive piece when it could be a easy fix. So call a few around your local area. Also some might want you to take it in for them to see.
Hope you find at least some of this helpful, and good luck with the fix

Here are some Solutions that might help you out:
Your Video or GPU(Graphics Card) might be out of date. Since you mentioned that it was a 4 Y/o computer, it might need a Update. You can Update your GPU if you have steam by clicking the Steam Tab at the top left hand corner.
Then click on the "Check for Video Driver updates" and see if it needs an update.
If thats not the case then you might need to update some of your Drivers on your computer. Head over to your Device Manager from the Control Panel of your computer. hopefully your using Windows. It should look something like this Start menu>Control Panel>Hardware and Sound>Device Manager. "Device Manager" will be at the top where the Device tab is.
Now click the little arrow near Display Adapters(My GPU is a Bit out of date but has no problems running my games in HD or so). There you will see your GPU, Right click and Update drivers software. Scan it and see if its up-to-date.
