There is a strange problem with Yap (2.9.4206, MikTeX 2.9, Win 7, 64 bit): DVI documents without any (eps) graphics are displayed correctly. However, if there is any graphics (somewhere in the whole document), all pages stay completely blank. Using the magnifying glass, the font is displayed correctly in the magnified area. Changing the render method to DVIPS causes Yap to crash immediately.
The very same happens without graphics, but with hyperref included. Minimal example:

\documentclass{report} \usepackage{hyperref} \begin{document} \section{abc} Hello World! \end{document}

The problem seem to be limited to Win 7 64 bit.

Further debug information:
Conversion with dvips produces a valid postscript document and gives the following output:

Running pdftex on said minimal example results in a valid pdf, too. Log file attached.
