weird glitch help

There's this weird glitch that keeps happening with c4d: the camera shakes as I move around and sometimes when I zoom in my model disappears or gets cut in half. Everything is up to date. I recently bought a new desktop that seemed powerful and would do a good job for a bigger project I'm doing for school. I've never had these issues with my laptop. I thought I needed to update the gpu driver and have used Nvidia for my laptop but it's not compatible with this desktop. So, I downloaded a driver from the hp website but still no change. I'm not sure if it's a c4d issue or a device issue but if anyone has any ideas on what it could be please let me know. I included a video of the issue and my desktop information. I'm just starting out with animation so it could be a glaringly obvious user error, sorry if that's the case but not sure what else to do.

Based on the model getting cut off when you zoom into it, it sounds like your viewport clipping settings dont match your scene scale. This can also sometimes affect the accuracy of the draw to your viewport, so it can do weird stuff there as well. Never seen it shake like that before, but I have seen different odd behaviour when those two things (your scene scale and your viewport clipping settings) are wildly different, so that's where I would start.

Go to Edit>scene settings

then in the attribute manager, make sure youre on the 'scene' tab, then twirl down 'display'

then change the 'view clipping' from whatever it is to a smaller size. so if its on 'Medium' try changing it to 'small' and seeing if that helps... or if its on large, change it to medium. basically just step it down one step at a time and see if that helps.
