Hi!

This sounds like a problem with your graphic card (/ driver).
1. Make sure you use a proper 3D graphic card for Maya.
2. Update graphic card drivers.
3. Try different Viewport modes (like DirectX).

You can also try a reset of your preferences.
Rename the folder prefs in folder 2017 to something like prefs_backup, or to reset everything, the folder 2017 to 2017_backup (or even the maya folder to maya_backup). Maya creates new folders (don't copy preferences from previous Maya versions). Detailed at:
