I have worked with premiere pro before on a very similar laptop and it worked perfect. Now I have this new laptop with basicly the same specs so memory shouldn't be an issue. When upload my MP4 file to premiere pro and drag it in the editor no video shows up, but when I export it as media it does show the video. I've tried reinstalling and changing video renderer already

The entire UI is out of wack (export tab is showing through edit tab)

Make sure you have the most current video driver installed.

Reset workspace and might also need to reset preferences.

What's causing the red bar in your timeline? Is it an effect or is your Renderer set to Software Only?

I don't know, I think the red bar is because of a button I pressed while screenshotting because there is no red bar at the moment.

Was the video showing before you pressed the little export icon?

Did you try using the Export tab instead?

There is also no video in the export tab, only if I export it and then watch it in a video player.
