ok this is a really odd problem so you might have to bare with us ,the outliner can be accessed from a button located on the bottom left of the screen you can hit the third button down that looks like a perspective view but also has a list next to it or you can got to window then outliner.
Once you have the outliner open it lists everything in your scene and if you have an object like a cube ect you can select it and hit F to frame it,if it is a graphics card issue then the object might show up.
