Imported pictures are black

Hello, I recently reinstalled my computer (macbook 2014) from High Sierra to Big Sur 11.7.8, where I run AE 2023.2.1.  I have problem with image rendering in general - some pictures are black when imported (even though they are not cmyk) and they dont appear in any window, preview or canvas of AE. Playing videos also shows a lot of bugs and pixel distortion, or they appear green, although they play normally outside of aftereffects. Other programs are affected - photoshop preview of video layers is totally broken, turns image upside down or disassemble them.

It looks like some general disagreemnent between sotware and image rendering hardware...could it be that AE 2023 doesnt run on 2014 macboook?

thanks

this is really crucial for me since I teach on the computer, and I need to be sure the project are working predictably.
