Windows 10: Freezing constantly

First the PC started to freeze after leaving the PC idle for 2-3min, sometimes a bit longer (been happening since around two months ago). The screen/audio would freeze if I didn't constantly use the mouse or keyboard, turning it off normally didn't work either so I had to force it to shut down. I updated the GPU driver but nothing changed.

Later I tried to clean boot, unchecking non-Microsoft services and startup programs. The freezing got worse and started to happen whether I moved the mouse or not, after around 30sec after loging in.
After that I tried to safe boot, and now it freezes after 1-3sec on the login screen.

When I try to boot it from a USB flash drive with win10, the freezing happens again after a random amount of seconds. I did manage once to get to the CMD and run sfc /scannow, but it didn't find anything wrong.

- When I get into BIOS it seems like the screen doesn't freeze.

Windows 10 Constantly Freezes

Windows 10 on PC constantly freezes. I called support with no help. It freezes every 2-3 minutes. This is unacceptable and I don't know what to do. The Windows rep suggest that I could go back to Windows 8. I've had 10 for almost two months and I would
like to keep it; I just want it to stop freezing my PC. I have tried the various suggestions given to no avail, this is a Windows 10 problem. PLEASE HELP

Screen freezes constantly after latest update

My screen freezes constantly after latest update - Nov 17. Even freezes during repair or system restore. Suggestions other than paying Geek Squad $150?!
