Do you have any WU for E@H that is in process, in tab "Work" if using the GUI look for the "status" column.
If a WU of E@H is running, in the same tab, right click on the WU in process should give you "Show graphics". When using this, do you get the graphics coming up?

Do you have actually a WU for E@H that is running?
As using also S@H, it could be that you are crunching a S@H WU and not an E@H WU due to the resource share.

I have the same card [MSI] and driver on my 3.4 GHz machine and have no issues. But, I still don't see the machine you've mentioned in your list, only two 2.8's.

Yes, I have a WU and the 3GHz I have is an overclocked 2.8. Yes, the WU is running.

I've been running overclocked for over a year and it's stable, and as previously said, Seti@Home works fine.
I think I may be on to something.
If E@H is run *after* Valve's Steam app *and* a game is selected and loaded (so that the video card settings are changed) the problem arises.
After quitting Steam and running the E@H Show Graphics, I only get the black box. If I run E@H Show Graphics before running Steam, it works fine.
I've even tried resetting the video settings with the nVidia desktop config app and no dice, I have to reset (logging out isn't enough) to reset the video so it works.
The nVidia settings are set to High Quality with antialiasing and ansitropic settings set for Application Controlled.
So this, not overclocking, seems to be the cause.
And before fingers start pointing at Valve/Steam let us remember who the new kid on the block is and that Seti@Home graphics still work fine.
No graphics w/nVidia latest drivers

Which video card and driver? And, as Thierry noted, you need a WU. I don't see a computer of this type in your list.

@Michael, You are right:

@Michael,
You are right: no 3GHz PC in the list.
@Iohphat,
Did you already attached to the project using that PC?

I've had 2 work units so far -- all I get when I select Show Graphics is a black pop-up window.
Graphics work fine for Seti@Home.

You may have answered your own question. Have you tried setting the timings on the over clocked machine back to the defaults?
