Imported EPS Stock files open pixelated in Illustrator

Question

I am SO frustrated and would appreciate help. I am relatively new in AI and learning, so I suspect this is a stupid problem created by my inexperience. If so, I would love to know what stupidly simple fix I am missing! (fingers crossed)
 
I've tried to open multiple EPS stock in Ai and each one opens pixellated/chunky/patchy. I've attached what the file SHOULD look like, and what I see in Illustrator when I open it.

Hi! Thanks so much--turning of the GPU solved the issue!

Hi there,

Sorry about the trouble. Could you please share a few more details like:

OS and version of Illustrator
Could you please share a sample EPS file with us? You can upload it to the Creative Cloud (https://helpx.adobe.com/in/creative-cloud/help/share.html) and share the download link.
Did you download these EPS files? If yes, from where?
From where are you trying to open these EPS files? (Network Drive/ System HDD/ Shared Folder on System/ External HDD)?
Who are you importing EPS in Illustrator? (Direct open, Placing from File Menu, or Drag & Drop)
Are there any recent changes made to your system? For example, any antivirus, system updates, or web extensions installed recently.
Does turning off GPU Performace from preferences (ctrl + k/ cmd + k > Performance > uncheck GPU performance) help resolve the issue?

We are here to help. We just need more information.

Thanks & Regards,

Anshul Saini
