Windows 10: Windows 10 still freezing even after clean installation

I have a Asus Vivobook X510UF laptop. I have below configurations -

1. Windos 10 Home Single Language Version 1909, OS Build 18363.836
2. Core i5 8th Generation @1.6GHz
3. 12 GB RAM
4. 16 GB Optane Module
5. 1 TB HDD

The laptop was working fine, smooth, and fast until last month. It started lagging and in every 2 -3 seconds it gets stuck. The cursor just freezes and nothing is operational, even Alt+Tab does not work during this freeze. Also, the applications start showing 'not responding.' The windows will automatically shut down/restart randomly showing a blue screen and displaying the msg 'Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart.' The stop code changes everytime but most frequent stop code which I have seen is "Memory Management."


I have already scanned the disk using the cmd, also I did the clean installation of Windows 10 6-7 times because everytime the windows was freezing a lot. I tested different things. Used a few clean installs of Win 10 without installing updates and in a few cases I installed the updates. Currently I have all the updates installed and in all the cases, I had installed the drivers listed on the Asus's website for this model. I have updated all the system drivers. Have not installed any third party driver.


Also, the disk usage keeps on rising from 0 to 100 percent and dropping from 100 to 0 percent constantly. I downloaded the Win 10 from that media creation tool. I download the iso file. I have tested it in Virtual machine and other laptop borrowed one with just 2gb ram and intel celeron dual core processor. The Win 10 seems to work without any issues on those machines quiet smoothly and without any random freezing.


Also, my laptop's hardware is not damaged at all. It is normal and I have tried all the troubleshooting methods mentioned in other discussions on this forum as well as other forums. I have not intalled any software other than firefox and I do not think it is creating problem. Because, with chrom also the result was same. With no programs installed also the result was same. I do not know where the problem is then.

Clean Install Workaround for Vista

You may remember this news story on techPowerUp! a couple of days ago relating to the lack of clean installs when using the Upgrade Editions of Vista, which required an old OS to be installed. However, Paul Thurrott has managed to find a workaround for this issue, which ironically lets users do a clean install Vista without any previous version of Windows, albeit a little tedious. Here are the steps:

• Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD as normal
• When prompted for a product code, leave this blank
• Select the version of Vista you have purchased and let Vista install
• When you boot to your desktop for the first time, run the Vista setup from Windows
• This time enter your product key
• When asked whether you want to do an Upgrade of Custom install, select custom and choose a clean install
• Windows will now install for a second time and you should be able to activate it

Remember, these steps are only advised for use in order to achieve a clean install of Vista, it is only legal to use the upgrade editions if you have previously purchased the appropriate version of Windows.

Clean Windows 10 (?PRO?) install

I have bought a legit "Windows 10 Pro" key of a key website. It is legit since i'm currently using it for over a year now. I currently have Windows 10 Pro installed on my PC and I want to do a clean install. I just can't find the windows 10 Pro download in the tool. But if i could use a windows 10 pro key with a normal windows 10 install, I'll be good to go.
