I too am a new user, but I had an experience that may relate to what you
have described.
I loaded a base map. I then loaded a shape file from the local Regional
District. I right clicked on that layer and selected "Set Project CRS
from Layer". And the base map vanished!
I finally realized, with a lot of help from folks on this list, that the
base map did not have the proper CRS. From that I learned how to setup
up On The Fly (OTF) conversions in QGIS. Now when I add that same base
map, it now says "EPSG:26910 (OTF)", down in the lower right corner.
That is the general idea. I will leave it to others to walk you through
the details.

New user to QGIS here. Went through some tutorials, had ESRI experience in
distance past. Starting a demonstration project using data from the US
Census Bureau https://www.census.gov/geo/maps-data/data/tiger.html
I successfully added shapefiles and small geodatabases
ftp://ftp2.census.gov/geo/tiger/TGRGDB16// as layers. When I tried the
same process with a large geodatabase (tlgdb_2016_a_us_edges.gdb), it did
not render. The feature count was reported as 0. I contacted the US Census
bureau and they verified it was not corrupted and worked on ESRI products.
Is there a size limit that prevents QGIS from working with large files?
The table in the geodatabase is 13GB.
