Go to Edit > Preferences > Import and deactivate Hardware Accelerated Video Preview. Then go to Edit > Purge > All Memory and Disk Cache. Restart After Effects and green previews shoild dissapear.

 

Also it is a good idea to update your graphics card driver.

Try to deactivate hardware acceleration at a project level. File > Project Settings. Under Video Rendering and Effects tab select Use Mercury Software only.
