Windows 10 - Freezing on startup after 5-10 minutes

basically I just moved to a new house and came into another issue with my computer. Before, the original issue was that my computer would freeze if I go idle from the keyboard and mouse after 8-10+ minutes. Weird thing about it is that it never happened whenver I was on the game “Fortnite” main menu screen. I couldnt get any real answers for my issue.

The day I move in, I setup my computer and it worked perfectly other than the idle freezing issue. Next day, I get on and reboot my pc becuase I couldnt leave it on due to the idle freezing if I was sleeping. But I get on for 5-10 minutes opening discord, spotify, and a game and it freezes on me. I reboot the Pc and it does it the second time. 

Now I have an even worse issue. I don’t know how to fix it at all. And if I did find there issue, I wouldn’t know where to start. 

If I load the pc in Safe Mode, it works perfectly fine. Doesn’t freeze after a couple of minutes and it doesn’t freeze if I go idle either. 

I tried to factory reset my computer but by the time it reaches 40-50% it freezes and I can’t do anything to it basically. 

Also, if you can help me and solve my issue. I’ll really appreciate it. The last post I did was with a guy helping but took him 1-2 days for a reply which I need fast and detailed replys. 

He explained to me that certain things we will do but never said if I should be doing it in Normal Startup or Safe Mode. 

Please help

    Is this any good?

    Also I used a program called Driver Booster 3.3 

    You think that is okay? It updated 16 very old drivers it said.

    Your PC model number should be on a sticker attached to it. It's like the car model number which most people know. If you post back a picture of the sticker we can help you find it. Attach the picture in the reply box using Attach Image button. Or just write out everything on sticker.

    Hi Gary. What is that you've written above?

    Did you go to the Asus Downloads link and put in your PC model number?
